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.

Dungeonborne revamps matchmaking to be like a "casino," fans hate it

It's been fascinating watching the progression of Dungeonborne from launch to its current iteration. Regardless of your feelings on the quality of the game, you have to admire how its developer is trying new things, even if those updates are not entirely successful. A big experimental change has just hit the game as part of the preseason patch and though it's an admirable attempt to fix one huge issue, it seems fans aren't entirely pleased.
