"The current state of the game has restricted options for further progress and relevant content updates," the post reads, "and delivering basic features while also fixing long-standing issues was more complicated than expected."
The post says Gigantic is a labor of love for the teams at Motiga and Perfect World, and thanks fans for their support over the life of the game.
Previously, a representative from Perfect World reached out to IGN about the closure of Motiga, stating the game would continue to be supported "until some time in the future when it doesn't make sense anymore."
