Lemnis Gate to Cease Operations in July, Sales to End in April

The online multiplayer game Lemnis Gate is set to shut down later this year, as announced in a joint statement by developer Ratloop Games Canada and publisher Frontier Foundry on the game's Steam page. The servers will go offline on July 11, but the game will remain available for purchase until April 11. After the shutdown, console players will still be able to use local multiplayer and training modes, although PC players will no longer be able to play. The decision to close the game was met with sadness by the development team, who described Lemnis Gate as an 'ambitious project' that they were 'privileged to have brought to life.' The game is a turn-based timeloop shooter where players take turns making moves within a 25-second time frame. The game's closure is part of a larger trend of online and live service games shutting down, with several other titles also announcing their closure in recent months. This wave of shutdowns has raised questions about the challenges faced by game developers and publishers in today's market.
