Back in January, Ubisoft released Might & Magic Showdown. And in just six months, the French company decided to cancel it and has already removed it from Steam. Now that is a huge flop. And to be honest, we aren’t really surprised by such a thing as this new Might & Magic game felt like a really niche title (and the Might & Magic series is already a niche genre so… yeah… it was to be expected).
Might & Magic Showdown was a tactical PvP arena combat experience where you command a team of customisable miniature heroes and creatures to overcome your opponent by mixing strategic planning and real-time action in quick, bite-sized sessions.
Players were able to build their team and bring the miniatures to life through a combination of visual personalization and programmable actions that could define their playstyle.
Ubisoft will shut down the game’s servers on July 31st, and will be offering full refunds to players who feel they are owed them until July 31st!

John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Online only games from AAA pubs are likely to turn out this way in the future. if you make a bad game or one designed to make more money than more fun, you’re doomed to shut it down early.

alas poor yorick this is MS’s fable all over again
-lee $hit company makes a game around microtransactions (F2P)
-lee $hit company sees no one gives a damn
-$hit company decides to can the project and the franchise
GG ubisoft, i wish 3DO never sold the franchise to you brainless monkeys
Cry about it more chump, you’ll forget this and be back to jerking off to your magic cards and dragons in no time.
Might and Magic sucks anyway, glad to hear it’s failing all over.
