NCSoft has announced the end of service (EOS) for its multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), Battle Crush, a surprising move considering the game never reached its full release. Following a global test in August 2023 and an early access release in June 2024, the game is shutting down just months later.
Battle Crush EOS Date:
The game servers will officially shut down on November 29th, 2024. In-game purchases have already ceased. However, players who made in-app purchases between June 27th, 2024, and October 23rd, 2024, are eligible for a refund.
Android and Steam players can request refunds from December 2nd, 2024, to January 2025. Ensure you download any desired game data before November 28th, 2024, as the game will become inaccessible afterward.
The official Battle Crush website will remain online until May 30th, 2025, for any necessary support. Social media accounts and the Discord server will close on January 31st, 2025.
Was the Shutdown Surprising?
The announcement understandably disappoints players who invested time and effort into Battle Crush. While enjoyable, the game faced challenges, including somewhat clunky controls and pacing issues. These shortcomings ultimately contributed to the decision to end service.
You can still download and play Battle Crush on the Google Play Store before the November 29th shutdown. For more gaming news, check out our upcoming article on the story-driven Autumn Season quests in Black Desert Mobile.
