The
Dead Island: Epidemic website
has word that Deep Silver is deep-sixing
Dead Island: Epidemic, the Early
Access MOBA
based on the
Dead Island series of zombie games (thanks Diarmid via
GG Pocket News).
Here's the news, which says the game servers will shut down on October 15th:
Ever
since starting with the Closed Alpha, and all the way through the Closed Beta
and Open Beta, we’ve received a great amount of useful criticism and encouraging
feedback from our players. This has been invaluable for all the teams involved
in developing the game.
Over the past weeks and months we’ve been evaluating how to proceed with Dead
Island: Epidemic and looking towards the future for the game. We’re sad to
announce today that we’ve come to the conclusion to cease further development.
We will be leaving the servers open until the end of October 15th (Pacific
Time), during which time we’ll run a very large discount on all characters and
boosts to give everyone a chance to spend any remaining currency on characters
and items you may have wanted to try before, but never did.
We want to thank everyone for their support, their feedback, and their time
playing Dead Island: Epidemic! The game would not have been the same without
you.
