Amazon Game Studios is shutting down Glowmade’s online multiplayer dungeon crawler King of Meat.
In a put up on the game’s homepage, Amazon introduced servers will probably be shut down on April 9, 2026.
As of yesterday (February 23), King of Meat was delisted from all storefronts, and in-game purchases have been disabled.
“Despite the creativity and innovation Glowmade brought to King of Meat, the game has unfortunately not found the audience we hoped for,” the writer wrote. “As a result, we have made the difficult decision to conclude our investment in the game.”
Players who bought King of Meat will obtain a full refund “in the coming weeks from their platform provider.” Refunds will probably be processed routinely between February 24 and April 9, 2026.
“We sincerely thank every player who supported King of Meat and the wonderful community that formed around it,” stated Amazon. “Your enthusiasm, creativeness, and suggestions have meant the world to us and to the workforce at Glowmade.
“We’re grateful for Glowmade’s partnership and passion throughout this journey and wish them continued success in the future.”
King of Meat launched in October 2025. Two months after its launch, the sport reportedly “failed to meet internal expectations by a significant margin,” resulting in layoffs.
Glowmade was based in 2015 by former Lionhead Studios builders. It partnered with Amazon in 2021 as half of the agency’s enlargement into third-party publishing.
Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz in 2024, Amazon Game Studios’ former EMEA publishing director Jon Rosenblatt stated King of Meat “was an ideal opportunity to work with a very talented team in Guildford, and actually develop that recreation out into one thing a lot larger than possibly they [had] deliberate.”
Last month, Amazon introduced it would be shutting down its MMO New World: Aeternum. Servers will go offline on January 31, 2027.
Development of the sport paused in October 2025, when it was introduced there could be no additional updates. This was half of wider cuts to Amazon’s infrastructure, which affected 14,000 jobs.
