Article Summaries:

  • Amazon Game Studios and UK developer Glowmade announced that the UGC dungeon‑brawler King of Meat will shut down on April 9, 2026, just six months after its October 2, 2025 launch. The co‑op title, which let players craft and navigate quirky dungeons, failed to attract a sustainable audience, prompting the studio to end its investment and close the servers. Existing content will remain playable until the shutdown, but in‑app purchases are disabled and the game has been removed from sale. Purchasers will receive full refunds, typically processed automatically between February 24 and April 9. The decision follows a peak of about 320 concurrent Steam players.
