Dear Gamers, Against many headwinds, we have kept the project running, including with personal finances from the founders since July and long hours with a team reduced by 80%. We launched our game in Early Access on September 10th and despite bugs earnt a 4.2 rating on Epic Games, higher than our much better funded peers. We continued to improve the game with patches and features despite no marketing budget, below sustainment-revenue, loss of codevelopers and terrible web3 gaming sentiment (bar the recent exception of the very well funded Fableborne launch). Unfortunately we have been unable to find sufficient funding or an acquirer to continue on. After discussions with the Rift Foundation, we have accepted the painful reality that we are unable to sustain the game or token utilities and ChronoForge will be shutting down services by 30 December, 2025. Thank you for letting us attempt this ambitious vision and for your patience as we tried every path to keep it alive. A detailed post mortem can be found in our community discord.
