Midnight Murder Club, the positively received horror party game from the developers of Knockout City, is getting one more update before the studio moves on. However, Velan Studios confirmed the game is not shutting down.
Update 2.0.008, which is out now and addresses an issue on Steam with controller-rumble issues, is the “last planned update for the game,” Velan Studios announced. Public and private matches will remain available.
Velan Studios said that as a company, “We feel strongly about game preservation,” and while other studios may opt to close their games entirely when they’re done supporting them, that’s not happening with Midnight Murder Club. It’s also in keeping with tradition for Velan. Before this, Knockout City got a “Private Server Edition” that kept the game online after updates ended.
For Midnight Murder Club, Velan said it will return to the game to apply any patches “if anything in the future prevents people from playing the game the way they can today.”
Midnight Murder Club officially released in August 2025, following a period of early access. It’s a hide-and-seek game with a deadly, humorous twist. The $10 game is available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
As for what’s next for Velan, the studio developed the new Star Fox game for Switch 2, which releases on June 25.
