Delisting
Voltron: Cubes of Olkarion was initially delisted from Steam on December 19, 2019. This was shortly after the closure of NBCUniversal’s game division Universal City Studios, which took place exactly three months earlier. Developer Gbanga’s statement follows:
We hope you have enjoyed playing Voltron: Cubes of Olkarion! Effective immediately, we are discontinuing support for the game and there will be no further content or functionality updates. On December 19, 2019, the game’s servers & services will be shut down completely, making some features unavailable. The game will be removed from the store shortly after shutting down.
NBCUniversal would like to thank you for the support and enthusiasm you’ve shown so far for Voltron: Cubes of Olkarion!
Steam news post (now deleted)
The game returned to sale on June 17th, 2020 after an update, and was republished by the developers at Gbanga. However, due to expired and unrenewable licensing to the Voltron property from DreamWorks, the game was removed from Steam on October 7th, 2022, and was likely delisted from the Microsoft Store on or shortly after this date.
Every adventure comes to an end – for «Voltron: Cubes of Olkarion» this is today. Within the next few days, our game will be deactivated as our licence for this wonderful world has expired. However, we still own the convincing gameplay and game mechanics. You can support our indie game studio hugely by following us on our next adventures by joining our indie studio mailing list, on Twitter or on Instagram with projects and subscribe to our updates!
It has been an epic journey for us as an indie game studio: two years ago we won the Universal GameDev Challenge to create a game around the wonderful world of «Voltron: Legendary Defender». We still are speechless to be able to work with a world-renowned IP that has been known since the 80s and had an exciting reboot on Netflix.
We thank everyone who has contributed to the game, has given us feedback, ideas and for playing epic cube matches with us. It was a journey we will never forget and we are thankful we could be part of it!
We would be thankful if you join us for our future games.
Goodbye, Paladins!
Goodbye planet Olkarion! – Steam News post
About the Game
Take control of the Cubes of Olkarion!
Voltron: Cubes of Olkarion is an action-packed, one-on-one, real-time-strategy game where you take on the role of your favorite Paladin to battle AI or other players online.
Choose your character and control a base on either side of the map. Then concentrate on building your tower from unique cubes as high and strong as you can. Pay attention to your tower arrangement as each cube has different attack or defense abilities. Some cubes launch projectiles, others are great for defense and even others can spawn units that fly over to attack the other side’s tower.
KEEP COOL, THINK CREATIVELY
Keep a cool head, think creatively and make quick decisions during battle, it only takes one mistake for your tower to crumble.
