Blizzard Entertainment plans to acquire its first new studio in more than 15 years. In a report from VentureBeat<\/em><\/a>, the company said it intends to acquire the Boston-based studio Proletariat. As a result, Proletariat\u2019s Spellbreak<\/em>, a battle royale in which you fling spells at your enemies<\/a> instead of bullets, will shut down.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter more than four years of elemental magic and spell combinations, we\u2019ve made the decision to end development of Spellbreak<\/em>,\u201d the company wrote on its website<\/a>. \u201cThe servers will be shut down as of early 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n

Proletariat was founded in 2012 and launched its first game, World Zombination<\/em>, on mobile in 2015. In addition to developing traditional games, Proletariat also worked on creating Twitch-integrated games that allowed viewers to interact and play with their favorite streamers. Spellbreak<\/em>, launched in 2020, was Proletariat\u2019s attempt to break into the already crowded arena of \u201cwhat if Fortnite<\/em>, but \u2014.\u201d Though the game presented an interesting spin on the battle royale model, Seth Sivak, CEO of Proletariat, revealed in a Reddit post<\/a> accompanying the announcement of the game\u2019s pending shutdown that Spellbreak<\/em>\u2019s novelty did not translate to financial success. <\/p>\n
