https://www.facebook.com/darknexusarena/?fref=nf To all our Valued Customers: We have some unfortunate news to announce; we have decided to stop development of Dark Nexus Arena. We would like to thank our valued customers very much for their patronage and support. You guys have been great. We would like to send out a special thanks to Unrelenting Troll, BForster, Jenbu, GeekByte UK, Solomance, GingerJesus and everyone else for all of their support and help. We would also like to thank Games Workshop for their support and trust in a small company to allow us to work on this amazing project. This means a lot to us. We were really hopeful to provide Warhammer 40,000 and MOBA fans a game that would encompass both aspects but unfortunately we missed the mark. We were in Beta for a year and have taken a lot of valuable feedback from our players. There has been excitement for the game but we haven’t grown enough to maintain development. As part of the ending process, we will continue to keep servers up until March 31, 2016. Once again, Whitebox would like to thank our customers and Games Workshop for all their support. We appreciate everything they have done for us. Sincerely, Jonathan Falkowski CEO Whitebox Interactive
MOBA is not an easy market to begin with, it's easy to get into, but to stay alive is a different story.
That's a shame. I kinda liked what they were trying to achieve here and I thought the overall concept was neat. I was also hopeful as Dark Nexus was implementing some of the lesser loved 40k factions/heroes which I thought was cool. I did try a few times to get into this though but found the matches somewhat underwhelming. I admit, I was a bit bit sceptical when I first saw their limited edition packs (e.g. Darnath Lysander) went up for $125. Nevertheless, still disappointed to see this fade away though.
I'm not surprised, but it's still upsetting to see. Especially since it was one of the only warhammer games to have sororitas.
