LET IT DIE to end service on September 1; Offline Edition launches this fall

by

The free-to-play game LET IT DIE will stop being available on September 1st. However, it will return this fall as a paid, standalone version called LET IT DIE Offline Edition. Publisher GungHo Online Entertainment and developer Supertrick Games have announced that players will be able to carry over their progress from the original game to the new version.

LET IT DIE originally came out on PlayStation 4 on December 6, 2016, and later on PC through Steam on September 26, 2018. By the time the game’s servers are shut down, it will have been available for nearly a decade.

The follow-up to LET IT DIE, titled LET IT DIE: INFERNO, became available on PlayStation 5 and PC (through Steam) on December 3, 2025. A new season of content starts on March 10th, adding a team-based “Duo Mode” where players fight enemies together, along with new weapons, a lock-on system for aiming, and other improvements.

Here are the Offline Edition details:
