🔔 Announcement:
ChronoForge has officially announced it will shut down and cease operations by December 30 due to lack of sustainable funding and revenue.
📰 News Details:
- After years of development and multiple last-minute funding attempts, the team behind ChronoForge confirmed they were unable to secure further investment in the collapsing web2/web3 gaming market. The studio has been operating with unpaid staff for months, cut 80% of its workforce, and exhausted all remaining runway. Despite achieving a 4.2 rating on Epic Games Store and continuing feature updates, the project could not survive financially.
The planned CHRONO token will not launch, as the developers and the Rift Foundation stated there is no longer any viable game utility or funding to support it. Servers and all support will permanently shut down on December 30.
