Let It Die Is Finally Shutting Down, But an Offline Version Is on the Way
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
GungHo Online Entertainment has confirmed the official shutdown of Let It Die, though developers are moving forward with a previously announced offline version that will preserve player progression.
GungHo Online Entertainment and developer Supertrick Games have officially confirmed that the online servers for Let It Die are shutting down. Originally launching as a PlayStation exclusive back in 2016, the survival action game pulled in over nine million downloads by challenging players to climb the treacherous Tower of Barbs after a global catastrophe. While the title built a dedicated community, it also faced long-standing criticism for its strict requirement of an always-online connection, leaving many players wishing for a solo experience that could survive the inevitable end of live service support.
Fortunately, the studio is listening to that feedback in a meaningful way. Back in December 2025, Supertrick Games announced plans to develop an offline version of the game. Developer updates have confirmed that players will be able to transfer their decade-long progression over to this standalone offline build when it launches. Details on the exact release timeline are still sparse, but the promise of preserving player progress offers a rare win for digital ownership and preservation in modern gaming.
As the live service landscape continues to evolve, the closure of a nearly decade-old title highlights the fragility of online-only games. Yet, the commitment to rolling out an offline alternative sets a positive precedent for developers facing the end of a game cycle. You can read the original reporting over at Game Rant.
