Tactical first person shooter Lemnis Gate is closing down.

While the shooter only launched in September 2021, developer Ratloop Game has teamed up with publisher Frontier to confirm the shutdown, saying the game will be withdrawn from sale on April 11, 2023 and shut down completely on April 11, 2023. July 11, 2023.

“We want to thank you all for your support with Lemnis Gate, joining us for many amazing rounds on the circuit.” the statement said – the game’s first Steam update since December 2021. “We really loved seeing your passion for the game, the awesome strategies you created, and how you embraced this innovative twist on the FPS genre.

“Lemnis Gate has been an ambitious project that we are privileged to have brought to life together, so it is with sadness that we share this news today.”

A quick look at the shooter’s performance in SteamDB offers insight behind the decision; Peaking at just 802 concurrent players, the game seemingly never got off the ground and currently struggles to attract more than half a dozen players at a time.

Interestingly, the game’s Twitch viewership has also plateaued, but yesterday’s announcement has seen a surge in interest.

The post concludes that while console players will “still be able to access local multiplayer and training modes” after the July 2023 shutdown, “PC players will not be able to play beyond that point.”

“We want to thank you all once again for your support and joining us on this journey.”
