Vela Games has announced the closure of its fantasy PvE roguelike title, Evercore Heroes Ascension, just one month after its full release from Early Access. The game will officially shut down on October 30, 2025, at 4 AM PT / 7 AM ET / 11 AM GMT. Despite initial excitement and various development changes, including a shift from a MOBA/MMO hybrid to a co-op roguelike format, the game struggled to maintain player engagement and received a 'Mostly Negative' rating on Steam. Vela decided to eliminate matchmaking and multiplayer features, reducing the experience to a solitary adventure, which disappointed many fans. The developer expressed that they could not sustain the game due to early negative reviews and limited resources.
