After losing all its players, Dark and Darker's RPG rival Dungeonborne is dead

Back in July 2024, Dungeonborne was thriving. At its peak, it attracted close to 40,000 simultaneous players on Steam, a higher total than even mainstream launches like Frostpunk, Dragon's Dogma 2, and Hell Let Loose. For a game that seemed to come out of nowhere, it was a huge success. Now, as I write this less than 12 months later, there are six people playing Dungeonborne - the most concurrent users it's had in the last 30 days is 36. A one-time rival to cult favorite extraction RPG Dark and Darker, Dungeonborne has been pulled from Steam and the servers are soon scheduled to go offline forever.
