Kongregate has Stopped Accepting New User Submissions

2020 has sucked a lot so far, and while there’s always the chance things will turn around, there’s at least one more inevitable disaster in our future: the death of Flash, which in turn will result in the death of decades worth of flash games and animations that once populated the net on sites like Newgrounds, Armor games, and of course, Kongregate.

Kongregate, founded in 2006, has been preparing for the inevitable end by launching an indie storefront and developing their own indie games, but with the end of their famous library of flash games coming to an end, they’ve made a sad announcement that should be familiar to anyone who’s seen their favorite sites close down: they’ve officially stopped accepting new submissions to their website.

We will be rolling out several changes to the website over the coming days and months, the first of which is that we will no longer be accepting new titles on Kongregate.com as of today. We also will not be adding any more badges to games. You will still be able to play our existing library of over 128,000 amazing games and developers will be able to update their games as normal.

In addition, we will be disabling a number of Kongregate.com’s social features later this month and in the future. We know that this change will be frustrating to many of you, but we wanted to give you a chance to plan for it, so you don’t lose contact with the many friends you’ve made on Kongregate.com over the years.

Please be aware that as part of our focus on developing games, we will have fewer resources to support Kongregate.com. That said, our support team will do their best to help players experiencing in-game issues.

It’s not often you can say this and it’s not hyperbolic, but, it really is the end of an age.
