Paragon can't catch a break: Less than two years after being brought back to life, it's closing again

Paragon: The Overprime image - Muriel in flight.

Paragon: The Overprime, the game that launched from the rubble of Epic's ill-fated MOBA Paragon, has suffered the same fate as its predecessor. Developer Netmarble announced today that the game will be shuttered for good in April.

Paragon launched into early access in 2016 but it failed to make a splash with players. Epic made some big changes over its short life in the hopes of bringing players around, but the sudden success of Fortnite derailed that work and in early 2018 Epic pulled the plug. A few months later it made a pile of Paragon assets free on the Unreal Engine Marketplace, and it wasn't too long before multiple new MOBA projects based on Paragon were in the works.
