Spellbreak is a free-to-play third-person spell caster that was only released in September of 2020. Spellbreak never had the numbers that other battle royales like Fortnite, Warzone or Apex had, but it still had its popularity.
Recently there have been questions regarding Spellbreak shutting down, and we're here to answer those questions.
Is Spellbreak Shutting Down?
Sadly, yes, Spellbreak does have plans to shut down sometime early next year. In addition to Spellbreak shutting down, the studio that developed Spellbreak, Proletariat, is being absorbed by Blizzard. This is one of the largest acquisitions for Blizzard in the last ten years, acquiring the 100-person team.
This acquisition is intended to boost the development of World of Warcraft. World of Warcraft is expected to release its ninth expansion pack this December 2022, World of Warcraft: Dragonflight.
The developers who originally worked on Spellbreak, are now going to be helping develop Dragonflight. Proletariat CEO, Seth Sivak commented that "the level of ambition for what we want to do with World of Warcraft" was a big reason why they made this decision.
As of now, it is unclear when the Spellbreak servers will be shut down, but it will be sometime in early 2023.
