On Knockout City’s web site, Game Director Jeremy Russo shared a blog post and said the servers will be shut down on June 6 and Season 9 of Knockout City will be its final update which will be available on February 28.
Russo also revealed plans for the final event saying “Knockout City celebrations are also taking place outside the game! This includes giveaways galore, a huge, final tournament for our competitive players, some new merch that looks back on the amazing years of Knockout City, a final season of Deep Space Dispatches we’ll be releasing in a new podcast feed to wrap up the story, and a bunch of other surprises!“
Knockout City will still be available for players through private servers, but Velan Studios will not provide any customer support, and any purchase or progression will not be transferred to private servers.
