Fortnite's Paragon Shutting Down; Refunds Offered For All Purchases

  • 52

Paragon, the third-person MOBA from Epic Games, will cease operations this spring. The studio has announced it will cease development on the game on all platforms--PS4 and PC--and shut down its servers. Additionally, refunds will be offered for every purchase ever made on the game.

Epic said recently that it was evaluating Paragon's future, due in part to the overwhelming success of Fortnite, which has consumed resources from the Paragon development team. The studio also indicated that Paragon was struggling to retain players. In a statement on its official website, the Paragon development team has now shared its decision to shutter Paragon altogether on April 26 and explained why it felt the move was necessary.

I'm impressed with the refund. I'd never expect that from a gaming company

The game came out in 2016 too, making it even more impressive that they're willing to give refunds.  But its probably cheaper to refund the hand full of players who purchased it than keeping the servers up and running for a dead game.

Good move from Epic Games. Maybe more players will move to Fortnite.

I do not know how many people bought the game, but I guess they have made some numbers and have the ability to return the money. Maybe they won more with 1 month of Fortnite than with Paragon.

As you said, yet impressive to see refunds of purchases done even years ago.
