EA Closing Dawngate in 90 Days
EA are pulling the plug on MOBA Dawngate.
In a statement on the game’s website Waystone’s Matt Bromberg said:
“Today, I have the unenviable task of announcing that we’ve decided to stop development of Dawngate.”
“Dawngate has been in beta for almost 18 months, including a full open beta for the past six months. Through that time, we’ve taken a lot of feedback from players and delivered lots of new features and innovations. And although the game has grown, we’re not seeing the progress we’d hoped for. This isn’t the outcome we wanted, but beta testing is about learning and improving, and ultimately, about making difficult decisions about how to proceed.”
Dawngate was supposed to be EA’s answer to League of Legends, but apparently things just haven’t been working out. It’ll be closed down in 90 days, and beta testers will be refunded anything they’ve in microtransactions.

Hi all, I'm Dan 'Nailz' Naylor, News Editor for the site (and I've just realised there's a pleasing alliteration to that). Almost all the news posts you see on the site are either by me or written because I say so, and we try to make them a little more interesting than a regurgitated press release so I hope you think we're succeeding.
Normally I'll be sinking my time into the latest RPG, but I'll play almost anything, with racing games a particular favourite. Owner of a Wii U, I have no regrets purchasing the console, though Smash Bros. hasn't left the disc tray since Christmas.
You can find me on Twitter and PSN as MacShanks, and feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, queries or feedback!
