'Paragon' (ALL) Servers Shutting Down

by Rainier on Jan. 26, 2018 @ 12:49 p.m. PST

Paragon is a MOBA game that puts you in the fight with explosive action, direct third-person control, and deep strategic choice.

Choose from an ever-expanding roster of unique Heroes, earn cards to customize their abilities, and lead your team to victory. Paragon features a diverse and continually growing selection of Heroes, each with unique abilities designed to complement your allies and dominate your opponents.

Skill matters - where you aim, when you attack, and how you move. Paragon puts you in direct control of the action like you’ve never experienced in a MOBA. Fully immerse yourself with a third-person perspective that gets you closer to the action and puts you into the fight. Feel the rush of every gank, every kill, and every victory.

5v5. Three lanes. Jungles. Minions. Towers. Cores. Experience the classic elements of a MOBA from a whole new perspective in Paragon.

Dive into the depths of the jungle to flank your enemy, or scale the heights to strike from above. Real elevation on an open map means you’ll have to rethink the way you approach the fight. Earn cards by playing. Build and upgrade decks. Create dominant strategies. Different combinations dramatically change gameplay and unlock deep strategic choice.

The writing was on the wall when Epic Games revealed that resources were being pulled from the Paragon team to assist with bolstering Fortnite support/development, but now it's official, Epic Games is shutting down Paragon altogether.

Hey Everyone,

It’s with heavy hearts we’ve decided to close down Paragon.

We truly appreciate everything you’ve put into Paragon. We received many passionate ideas for where to take the game; the outpouring of thoughtful suggestions is another testament to this incredible community. 

After careful consideration, and many difficult internal debates, we feel there isn’t a clear path for us to grow Paragon into a MOBA that retains enough players to be sustainable.

We didn’t execute well enough to deliver on the promise of Paragon. We have failed you -- despite the team’s incredibly hard work -- and we’re sorry.

To try to make this right, Epic is offering a full refund to every Paragon player for every purchase on any platform. This refund will come directly from Epic rather than your platform provider.

To request your refund, follow these steps:

  1. If you’re not playing on PC, link your Epic account (create one if necessary).
  2. If you play on PC, or have already linked your Epic account, you can request your refund here.

We’ll continue operating Paragon servers until April 26, 2018. As the player population continues to  decrease, matchmaking times and quality will further degrade.

Thank you for joining us on this journey and for your dedication to Paragon.

Paragon is now available for free in open beta on PlayStation 4 and PC.
