Spellbreak Shuts Down; Developers Bought By Blizzard

Developer Proletariat has shut down its battle royale spellcasting game Spellbreak after its 2020 launch. The game will shut down in Early 2023.

While there is no exact end date yet, any currency that’s bought for the free-to-play game can still be spent in the shop. However, real-money purchases have now been disabled. Here are some parting words from Proletariat CEO Seth Sivak about the game and its end.

“Unfortunately, the game industry is a difficult business. Spellbreak was not able to break through and reach a sustainable place where we could continue to invest in it the way we had dreamed of. We picked a hard path as an independent studio and decided to compete with some of the biggest games in the world. While we could not get the escape velocity needed, I do not regret the bold decisions we made in bringing Spellbreak to life.

While this is goodbye for Spellbreak, I cannot thank this community enough for the support and help along the way. Spellbreak transformed our studio and touched the lives of so many. So again, thank you.”

And now the (sorta) good news: Blizzard has bought Proletariat for an undisclosed amount. The 100-person company will be working on World of Warcraft and its upcoming Dragonflight expansion. At the very least, the developers still have jobs albeit ones that are similar to a gaming sweatshop of sorts.
