Down but not out

Iron Galaxy’s multiplayer wrestling rumble was a bit different from the usual battle royale; rather than guns and ammo, it featured brawlers and grapplers. slamming each other in a massive wrestling-themed city.

It’s a truly different kind of rumble royale, and it’s a bummer to see it go. In an to the Rumbleverse community from the Iron Galaxy team, the developers chose to share a personal note with fans. They thank the players who took up Rumbleverse, and left it on a note that this might not be the la🐻st we ♋see of it:

“It is our sincerest hope that this news does not mark the end of Rumbleverse. You may not yet have seen the Rumble in its final form. If we can welcome people back onto the deck of the battle barge again, we hope you’ll be there, laced up and ready to take your rightful place in the c𓂃annon.

Iron Galaxy will keep making games. It’s our passion and our purpose. Our people ar♌e filled with skills a♈nd inspirations to keep the world playing.

Thank you for playing. This is not the last time you’ll hear from us. This is not the last time we’ll invite you to play.”

It’s a sad but hopeful note to end on, and for a few more weeks at least, Rumbleverse is open to♍ still jump in ൲and play before the arena shuts down.
