In brief

• Killer Queen Black is back on Steam as a free-to-play title after being delisted in 2022.
• The game’s servers were previously shut down due to the end of Amazon’s GameSparks service.
• Originally launched in 2019, the game was well received by players and offers a unique multiplayer experience.

GAME-scanner analysis

The return of Killer Queen Black on Steam is a notable development for both developer Liquid Bit and the player community. After the servers were shut down in 2022, following Amazon’s discontinuation of the GameSparks service, the game seemed lost for good. Making it free to play now can be seen as an effort to rebuild the community and attract new players. It may also be a strategic move to restore the Killer Queen Black brand and breathe new life into its multiplayer experience.

What does this mean for players?

For players, this return means they can now experience Killer Queen Black at no cost. That could spark renewed interest in the game, especially among new players who may have missed it the first time around. Its multiplayer gameplay, built around teamwork and strategy, could come back to life with a larger player base. However, questions remain about the long-term future of this free version and whether players will be able to keep it permanently in their libraries.
