XL Games has announced that Civilization Online will be closing down, with servers shutting off on December 6th. Initially soft launched into beta, XL Games drew criticism and disappointment from western gamers with the announcement that the plan was to only launch the game in Korea, at least for the time being. With the news of the service shutting down before it even launches in its home country, the hopes of seeing the game come to the west have been effectively dashed.

Civilization Online is an upcoming MMO by XL Games and currently enjoying a closed beta in South Korea. While the title isn’t currently dated for a western launch, you can take a peek at the Korean beta by watching the video embedded below. The footage was recorded by Youtuber Surreal MMO.
Civilization Online sounds like an amazing game: Players take the role of citizens in one of four civilizations and work together in order to achieve victory status for their respective faction. A mixture of A Tale In The Desert in a procedurally generated world, with sandbox elements and an emphasis on cooperation and exploration.
You can watch, but you cannot touch. According to the game’s developer’s, XL Games, there are no plans to release the game outside of Korea at this time.
“Civilization Online is developed by South Korea-based XL Games in partnership with 2K, and will be available first in Korea. No release date has been set. There are no plans for a North American release at this time.”
