Celebrity Kombat

Celebrity Kombat launched on June 22, 2023, and received a consistent stream of feature updates through early 2025, including new characters, gameplay systems (dismemberment, a ranking mode, a "Karnage" finishing phase), performance optimizations, and a major content drop — "Wizard Duel" — in March 2025. The store page explicitly promises "New characters added weekly," indicating an ongoing content commitment. However, the game's future became uncertain in September 2025. On September 3, 2025, the developer posted a notice — written humorously but clearly communicating a real intent — announcing plans to delist Celebrity Kombat from Steam on October 15, 2025, framing it as a financial/community milestone challenge. A follow-up on September 26, 2025 reinforced this, calling the upcoming sale the game's "final offensive" and describing the delisting as imminent unless certain conditions were met. Despite this, the game remains available for purchase as of June 21, 2026 — over 8 months after the threatened October 15, 2025 delisting date. This could mean the developer's conditions were met and delisting was called off, or the plans simply weren't followed through. Critically, the developer has made no public communications since September 26, 2025, so there is no explanation of what happened or what the current status of the game's development and availability is. The extended silence following an announced delisting threat leaves the game's future genuinely unclear.
