Six Ratalaika Games to Be Delisted from Xbox Store in 2025

2025-03-26 00:41:24

Spanish publisher Ratalaika Games has announced the upcoming delisting of six titles from the Xbox/Microsoft Store.  The removals, scheduled to occur in stages starting in late March 2025 and continuing through April 2025, are a result of the closure of two development studios.

Outer Terror, a sci-fi roguelike developed by the now-shuttered VoxPop Games, will be the first to be removed. Five other titles, Daggerhood, Gravity Duck, Infestor, League of Evil, and Royal Frontier, developed by Woblyware (another studio that has ceased operations) will follow shortly after.  While the exact dates for the latter five games haven't been finalized, they're all expected to be gone from the store by the end of April 2025.

The decision to delist these titles stems directly from the closure of VoxPop Games and Woblyware.  Ratalaika Games clarified that other titles developed by Woblyware and published by them, such as Devious Dungeon and Random Heroes: Gold Edition, will remain available.  Ratalaika secured the IP rights for these games, ensuring their continued presence on digital storefronts.

The affected games cover a range of genres, with the majority being 2D platformers.  Daggerhood, Gravity Duck, Infestor, and League of Evil, all priced at $4.99 each, are estimated to take between 30 minutes and four hours to complete. Outer Terror, a sci-fi shooter inspired by '80s and '90s horror comic books and B-movies, is priced at $9.99. Finally, Royal Frontier, a 2D RPG centered around protecting a settler wagon, costs $6.99.

While these games will no longer be available for purchase after their respective delisting dates, players who already own them will retain access and can re-download them at any time.  Similar delistings are also expected on other platforms, including the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, and Steam.
