Bad news and good news for Let It Die fans; the original game is shutting down its servers after almost a decade. However, you'll be able to keep playing forever with the Offline Edition.
Let It Die is a free-to-play online action game with a roguelike structure, with enemies you face being other players. On 1st September 2026, the online servers will be switched off, putting an end to service after nearly 10 years.
Launching this fall, however, is Let It Die Offline Edition, which will effectively take the original game's place. While the online game was free, Offline Edition will instead cost a premium.

It's not made clear how much it will be, but it seems those who have played the game before will need to purchase "additional downloadable content" rather than the full game, so hopefully it won't be too bad.
Death Metals will be replaced with in-game Kill Coins, and the whole game has essentially been reformatted to remove or change online components.
If you have save data from the online version of the game, it can be transferred to Offline Edition once it's released.
The above trailer shows off the Offline Edition, while also promoting the start of Season 2 in sequel Let It Die: Inferno.
It's the end of an era, then, but the start of a new one. Rather than simply ceasing to exist, Let It Die will live on as an offline title.
There's a little more information on the official site.

That's how you do it
Yep, end a game's online service that costs money to maintain, sure. But make sure anyone who wants to continue playing has a way to do so. Seems fair enough to me.
I'd laugh if Sony decided to release Concord offline after seeing this news.
Is this the the stop killing games movement coming into affect, I wonder.
I played this when it first came out and enjoyed it. I'll have a look at the offline price when it launches.
Let It Die probably one of the few live service F2P games that i really enjoyed. iirc i only reached floor 20 or not far after i beat the 1st boss.
And i agreed this is how you end a live service game by providing an offline version.
Awesome, always been interested in this game but never bought it cuz online; will definitely pick up the offline edition.
Now I can check it out!
Let's hope that the Offline Edition proves worth the dev investment and serves as an example to others.
Glad that they didn’t simply Let It Die
