Elyon Shutting Down on December 7

Kakao Games announced today that their PC MMORPG Elyon will be shutting down on December 7th, 2022. This announcement is for the North American and European version of the game. The reason provided for the shutdown was 'unsustainability of key performance indicators' and 'very low retention rate from new players'.

In plain English Elyon is shutting down because very few people played the game.

Anyone who spent money on Elyon between July 1 - September 7 is eligible to receive a refund.

There is an important announcement we have to make today in regards to the future of Elyon in the European and North American regions. It has almost been a year since Elyon first launched back in late October of 2021, and over the months we have had the opportunity to meet and engage with some exceptionally passionate players. We couldn’t be more grateful for the continued support you have shown us.

We know that many of you are excited for the new class “Soulbringer” that is available as of today - nonetheless, we would like to set the correct expectations and bring you the unfortunate news upfront.

Kakao Games Europe, following lengthy discussions with the game developer Bluehole Studio Inc., has made the difficult decision to terminate the live service of Elyon in Europe and North America due to the unsustainability of key performance indicators. The very low retention rate from incoming new players in combination with a declining amount of active users has made most content difficult to clear, leading us to the conclusion that we are no longer able to offer you the MMORPG experience we are striving for. For this, we deeply apologize. -Official Announcement
