NCSoft has announced the end of service (EOS) for its multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, Battle Crush. This is surprising, as the game never officially launched its fully polished version. Following a global test in August 2023 and early access in June 2024, the game will be shutting down just months later.
Battle Crush Shutdown Date:
The game servers will close on November 29th, 2024. In-game purchases have already ceased. Refunds are available for purchases made between June 27th, 2024, and October 23rd, 2024.
Android and Steam players can request refunds from December 2nd, 2024, to January 2025. Players should download any desired content before November 28th, 2024, as the game will become inaccessible afterward.
The official Battle Crush website will remain online until May 30th, 2025, for any necessary support. Social media accounts and the Discord server will close on January 31st, 2025.
Unexpected Closure?
The EOS announcement is understandably disappointing for players who invested time and effort into Battle Crush. While enjoyable, the game's somewhat clunky controls and pacing issues likely contributed to its premature closure. It simply failed to capture the desired level of polish and finesse.
You can still download and play Battle Crush on the Google Play Store before the November 29th shutdown. Alternatively, stay tuned for our next article covering the story-driven Autumn Season quests in Black Desert Mobile.
