Nexon’s Mobile Sandbox Durango Wild Lands Will Be Shutting Down Later This Year
Durango Wild Lands just five months after it launched in the US. The announcement was made earlier today on the game’s official Facebook page.
“[. . .] We have decided to end the service of Durango: Wild Lands. It seems we have reached our final destination in the wild lands that we have explored together.
We would like to apologize and show our gratitude through this note.
We would sincerely like to thank you, our pioneers, for being part of the Durango world. We, as developers and operators of the game, were able to do our jobs largely due to your . While the in-game characters were warped to Durango despite their intentions, you our pioneers chose to be part of our family. We deeply empathize with you not being able to continue your expeditions in Durango.”
The good news is that players will be able to see K and X to the end of their journey before the game officially shuts down. Developer What! Studio will be rolling out a final update featuring the finale to the game’s main storyline along with the battle royale-like Combat Island and musical instruments. The studio will also be tweaking the game’s mechanics to allow players to experience as much of the game’s content as possible before the end. The devs are also looking for a way to let players keep their private islands.
In-app purchases will be disabled starting October 16th and the game itself will officially go offline on December 18th, 2019. “Reinstallation will NOT be available once you delete the game after December 18, 2019,” warns the devs.
