He may not get the chance…
Indeed, journalist Tom Henderson, often well informed about the rumors at the heart of the video game industry, tweeted in the most laconic way possible: “The Epic Games Rumbleverse will close at the end of February.

As of this writing, Rumbleverse is still available on the Epic Games Store as well as the Xbox Store. No official communication from the publisher or the developer Iron Galaxy Studios has come to confirm or contradict what remains a rumor, as it stands. Epic Games has rarely communicated on the performance of its title. However, it is already no longer in the top 10 most played games, although it has been available for less than 6 months.
