Steam MMO Zenith: Nexus is shutting down, with December 18 officially set as its discontinuation date. Apart from Steam, the game is also ceasing operations on several other platforms.

Developed by San Francisco-based Ramen VR (incorporated as TribeVR Inc.), the title originally launched in January 2022 as an anime open-world VR MMO Zenith: The Last City before undergoing a major restructuring in 2024. Rather than replacing the original experience, Ramen VR reorganized it into Zenith: Nexus, a VR-only title containing two separate game modes. The newly introduced Zenith: Infinite Realms became its free-to-play entry point, offering a more traditional, session-based action RPG built around procedural co-op runs, while the original Zenith: The Last City continued as the game's open-world MMO mode and was sold as paid DLC.

Time for bittersweet goodbyes, because these MMORPGs are shutting their doors from any new content.

Ramen VR formally announced the Zenith: Nexus shutdown on October 21, saying that the game's servers will remain online until 10:00 AM PST on Friday, December 18. The move is absolute and permanent, with the Californian developer saying its live-service game will no longer be accessible in any shape or form once the servers go offline. In preparation for the move, Ramen VR says it opted to end sales of The Last City DLC and the Zennies premium currency ended on October 21. However, the former is still being sold on Steam as of October 22 . The free Zenith: Nexus client will remain available to new players until November 18, while existing players will be able to continue playing and spend their remaining Zennies until the final closure.
