A final update for Rumbleverse was released. It gave the current Battle Pass to all players. The developers have also doubled XP gains. Emotes and other accessories have been unlocked and are available for free for everyone.
Iron Galaxy's emotional farewell message
Iron Galaxy, developers behind 2013’s Killer Instinct reboot, also released a statement on their website. It was a rather emotional farewell message to the fans but with the hope that they can bring back Rumbleverse in future.
“It is our sincerest hope that this news does not mark the end of Rumbleverse. You may not yet have seen the Rumble in its final form,” wrote Iron Galaxy.
They added, “If we can welcome people back onto the deck of the battle barge again, we hope you’ll be there, laced up and ready to take your rightful place in the cannon.”
“Iron Galaxy will keep making games. It’s our passion and our purpose. Our people are filled with skills and inspirations to keep the world playing”
“Thank you for playing. This is not the last time you’ll hear from us. This is not the last time we’ll invite you to play,” concluded the development team.
