Epic Games To Shut Down Paragon In April

Last week we learned that while Fortnite is soaring, having recently received a map update, Paragon wasn't doing so well. The third person MOBA had issues with player retention. The slower pace of updates was also caused by a number of team members being shifted over to Fortnite. We now know that Epic Games will shut down Paragon on April 26th.

"After careful consideration, and many difficult internal debates, we feel there isn’t a clear path for us to grow Paragon into a MOBA that retains enough players to be sustainable.", said the post on the Paragon website. Full refunds will be offered "to every Paragon player for every purchase on any platform." The full post contains all the details on how refunds can be obtained.

Did Paragon fail solely because of Fortnite overshadowing it? Was it the wrong time to try and get a MOBA off the ground? Let us know in the comments below.
