Fans of Paragon need to get as much time with the game as they can as Epic Games revealed the MOBA's servers shut down this spring on April 28, 2018. Thankfully, fans who stuck by the game on both PlayStation 4 and PC will receive a refund for every purchase on any platform directly from Epic.

The move comes just shortly after rumors swirled that Epic Games was in the process of moving talent away from Paragon over to the much more successful Fortnite, though from the sounds of it, this wasn't an easy decision.

"After careful consideration, and many difficult internal debates, we feel there isn’t a clear path for us to grow Paragon into a MOBA that retains enough players to be sustainable," reads a letter to fans on Epic Games' official site. "We didn’t execute well enough to deliver on the promise of Paragon. We have failed you -- despite the team’s incredibly hard work -- and we’re sorry."

Paragon hit the scene in March 2016 to a lot of hype looking beautiful running on the Unreal Engine 4 with a third person play style that made it a little different to most games on the market at the time. Yet, it wasn't well received sitting at a 6.3 review score overall on Metacritic. Eventually, the pay-to-play format for the title was dropped for a free-to-play model, much like Fortnite, but Epic wasn't able to build enough good will, and much like Battleborn, it wasn't adopted by a big enough audience.

Fortunately, fans still have some time left with Paragon, though there is a chance the final memories many fans have will be a frustrating one. Epic warns that as the number of players decreases, the amount of time it takes for matchmaking could take longer.

While seeing a game with a fanbase get shut down is never fun to see, Paragon hurts just a tinge more as this was a passion project for much of the team involved. During the game's development, executive director John Wasilczyk revealed that the team was given the green light to make any project they wanted, and they decided to tackle a MOBA as that was the go-to genre for many of the game's developers.

The MOBA genre is a crowded marketplace, and while there's always room for the next big thing, there are a lot of stories that end up just like this. Thankfully, Epic Games has a heavy hitter in Fortnite, so not all is lost for them.
