Rumbleverse shutdown: end date revealed for pro wrestling battle royale
Rumbleverse, the free-to-play, pro-wrestling-inspired battle royale brawler, is shutting down in February, Epic Games and developer Iron Galaxy Studios announced Tuesday. The game will go offline Feb. 28, about six months after the game officially launched.
“The remaining weeks will be a chance to celebrate the competitive spirit you’ve brought to this game,” Iron Galaxy said. “There will be more livestreams to play some games with the developers and let them pull the curtain back to share some behind-the-scenes moments from the creative process that built this city.”
But the reality is the whole thing closes down at the end of February. Any player who spent money on the game — including the purchase of a Battle Pass or the in-game currency, Brawlla Bills — is eligible for a refund, on any platform. “We will share a FAQ page with additional refund information soon,” Iron Galaxy said.
“It is our sincerest hope that this news does not mark the end of Rumbleverse,” Iron Galaxy added, in a more personal open letter directed at the game’s community of players. “You may not yet have seen the Rumble in its final form. If we can welcome people back onto the deck of the battle barge again, we hope you’ll be there, laced up and ready to take your rightful place in the cannon.”
Rumbleverse is a melee-based variant on the battle royale genre. Players launched into Grapital City, a large map with several points of interest, and stuffed their pockets with buffs, power-ups, and other items. Opponents were suplexed from the tops of skyscrapers and/or tossed in the water to be eliminated.
Although Rumbleverse was developed to be as watchable as it was playable, the game failed to gain much traction on Twitch, which may have sealed its fate — along with some other battle royale titles. Also on Tuesday, Electronic Arts announced it was shuttering Apex Legends Mobile, which launched in May 2022, and ending development on Battlefield Mobile, a project announced in April 2021.
Rumbleverse was first announced at The Game Awards 2021, though a proposed early access launch for January 2022 was postponed so Iron Galaxy could tighten and polish the game. It formally launched on Aug. 11 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
A Nintendo Switch version was rated (overseas) earlier this month, but that now seems unlikely to be released.
Iron Galaxy, founded in 2008, is best known for its games Divekick (2013) and Extinction (2018), and for its work on Killer Instinct’s second and third seasons for Xbox Game Studios.
Square Enix To End FF7 Battle Royale First Soldier In 2023
Everything’s gotta die eventually, and Square Enix heard the death knell loud and clear. Dig up an early grave because the company’s battle royale mobile game, Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier, will shut down on January 11, 2023.
Launched in November 2021, The First Soldier was Square Enix’s attempt to capitalize on the popular battle royale trend. Think Fortnite, but with swords and chocobos instead of just guns and cars. You created a character adorned with outfits worn by series faves like Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart, then skydived onto various Migar maps with 74 other players to be the last soldier standing. I had a blast with the game despite some performance issues and its exclusivity on Android and iOS platforms. Still, it crossed one million downloads not long after it released, so there was an audience.
Square Enix announced on the game’s official website, a month before its first anniversary, that service for The First Soldier will come to an end in January. The blog post specified that the company couldn’t “deliver the experience that we were hoping to and that you all deserve,” leading to the game’s unceremonious shuttering. I’m not entirely sure a revive materia will work here, y’all. Sadly, I think this one is done-done. Permadeath got to it.
“Although there is only a little less than three months until service ends, we will continue to make updates during this time, so we hope you will continue to enjoy Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier until the very end,” Square Enix said. “We would like to thank you all for supporting us over the past year.”

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 + Galaxy Z Fold 4
Flex, pose, post
In the face of stern competition from rival Apple, Samsung has really upped its game for Amazon’s Early Access Sales event. Right now you can nab two of the hottest new smartphones on the market: The Z Flip 4 and the Z Fold 4, for up to almost 25% off the usual asking price. This is a hell of a deal, considering both phones have been available for less than two months. If you’ve been waiting on an upgrade, now’s the time.
The community is shooketh but not necessarily surprised by the announcement. Many in the tweet’s mentions saw the writing on the wall, particularly because The First Soldier was mobile only. One tweeter said the “game design worked well together,” but the performance issues were its “killing blow.” Another simply argued that the Avalanche gang—members like Biggs and Jessie alongside Barret and Cloud—should’ve been added to Fortnite instead. Most seem to agree, though, that it might see a resurgence if it re-releases on PC.
Kotaku has reached out to Square Enix for comment.
This news bums me out, and not just as a games preservation enthusiast. In my impressions a few days after it dropped, I called The First Soldier an “intriguing mix” of Final Fantasy design and battle royale emergent gameplay that suffered for being a mobile-only release. The small phone screen does the game absolutely no favors, making it difficult to sort through all the on-screen information. Couple the puny display with the occasional performance issues—dropped frames, input delay, etc.—and you have a frustrating albeit exhilarating free-to-play battle royale action game. Maybe things would’ve been different had it launched on consoles and PC. But this is the timeline we live in, and it always sucks when a game dies, no matter the reason.
Fortnite adds RoboCop and ED-209 to the battle royale game’s item shop
RoboCop, the part-man, part-machine supercop protagonist of Paul Verhoeven’s 1987 ultraviolent satire of Reagan era-corporate greed, has come to Fortnite. RoboCop’s arrival in the battle royale game also introduces another familiar element of the original film: the total degradation and humiliation of ED-209.
That’s because you can now ride on the back of a diminutive ED-209, thanks to a new emote in Fortnite. Players can also use ED-209’s severed leg as an in-game pickax. That’s called the LEG-209, which can also be equipped as a Back Bling.
RoboCop, the Christlike figure who once meted out justice by shooting a criminal in the dick but has since been softened to little more than a cool action figure, is now available as an outfit from the Fortnite Item Shop. Players can also get a bundle with the LEG-209, with which they can beat fellow players over the head to drive home themes of the dangers of corporate privatization of public services, or something.
Beyond Fortnite, RoboCop is set to return in his own video game, RoboCop: Rogue City, sometime in 2023. The creators and original writers of RoboCop, Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, are trying to make a new film, RoboCop Returns, which has been pitched as a direct sequel to the first film and ignores the sequels’ continuity. District 9 and Chappie director Neill Blomkamp was once attached to RoboCop Returns, but the project has since been handed to a new director, Abe Forsythe.
Rocket League New Mode Is Battle Royale For People Who Hate Battle Royale
You’re probably thinking “not another battle royale” and you’d be justified. However, Rocket League’s new Knockout game mode seems to be for people who hate battle royale games.
Knockout is part of Rocket League’s spring in-game event called Knockout Bash, which goes from April 27 to May 10. This new game mode involves using the driving/soccer skills you’d use in the normal game in an eight player destruction derby-type battle royale.
In addition to the existing movesets, there are three new skills to master: Attack, Block, and Grab. Attack is basically dodging into an opponent to send them flying if placed right. Block is essentially a parry which reflects Attacks back onto the opposing player with proper timing. Grab allows you to, well, grab other players and throw them.
