The developer, Ayelet Studio, officially announced on July 18, 2024 that they were closing the chapter on "Unsung Empires: The Cholas I." They stated that new users would no longer be able to download the game from July 21, 2024 onward, though existing library owners could continue playing. The store data confirms this — the game currently has no purchase options available, meaning it has been removed from sale. The developer explained that the team is redirecting all efforts toward a sequel, "Unsung Empires: The Cholas II Legacy of Rajendra Chola," which was promoted as releasing in early 2025. The store description also explicitly states "we are closing this chapter" and points players toward the sequel. The original game is complete and no longer available for new players to acquire.
