A post to the Square Enix forums announces an end is coming to Nosgoth, saying what was planned as a free-to-play competitive multiplayer spin-off of Legacy of Kain will not ever graduate from early access, and will go offline on May 31st (thanks Eurogamer). The game be downloaded and played for free between now and then, and word is any purchases made since March 1st will be refunded. Here's word:

It is with a heavy heart and an immense sense of sadness that we must announce the end of Nosgoth’s development. Servers will continue to run until 31st May 2016, during which time you will be able to play the game as normal. After that date, Nosgoth will be taken offline for the last time.

This was not an easy decision to come to. It has been a pleasure to build this game with your help, but ultimately its audience hasn’t grown enough to sustain ongoing operations.

On behalf of the entire Nosgoth team we want to thank you all for your feedback, support and dedication to the game throughout Nosgoth’s life.
