Trailblazer announced in April 2024 that development had stopped and that the game's servers, website and Discord would close over the following weeks. According to its announcement as reported, data showed the game was not on track to meet its goals: a move to mobile had required a full redesign and did not hit its performance benchmarks, and an esports push built on Player Card NFTs did not reach a financially viable scale. The team said development had cost far more than the Genesis collection raised, and offered to buy back Genesis NFTs from the remaining funds, at $30 in USDC per egg and $12 to $120 per dragon depending on rarity. The official account posted on 6 May 2024 that it would have no further activity.
