Publisher Amazon Games and developer Glowmade announced they’re shutting down King of Meat, their co-op hack-and-slash game.

King of Meat is shutting down on April 9th, less than six months since its global launch in October 2025 for PC and consoles.

The game will be playable until that date but afterwards it will be unplayable and owners of the game on PC or consoles will get a full refund (Niche Gamer has confirmed refunds are already being sent out).

Here’s the full word from the team on the shut down:

Following the launch of King of Meat, it’s been incredibly rewarding to watch the community enjoy this fun and chaotic world.

Despite the creativity and innovation Glowmade brought to King of Meat, the game has unfortunately not found the audience we hoped for. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to conclude our investment in the game, and King of Meat’s servers will close on April 9, 2026. Players will be able to access and play all existing content until then, so we encourage you to enjoy your remaining time in the game with your fellow Contenders.

All players who purchased King of Meat will receive a full refund in the coming weeks from their platform provider.

We want to sincerely thank every player who supported King of Meat and the wonderful community that formed around it. Your enthusiasm, imagination, and feedback have meant the world to us and to the team at Glowmade. We’re grateful for Glowmade’ s partnership and passion throughout this journey and wish them continued success in the future.
