It has been refreshed and reinvented several times, with the most recent change being discussed during the E3 event in Los Angeles last June. However, despite those updates, Epic said that Paragon hasn\u2019t still reached the achievement they were aiming for.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Epic explained that the core challenge the game faces is that, only a small number continues to play the game regularly after a month. The developer also mentioned that though Paragon has evolved as a game, it still wasn\u2019t enough to call it a sustainable game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">Fortnite, on the other hand, was loved by gamers and easily attained a large fan-based, causing Epic Games to focus on it instead. In the same statement, Epic revealed that some Paragon team members were transferred to Fortnite to help develop the game. This is because it has grown far larger than any games Epic had in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">That being said, fans of Paragon will be expecting fewer updates from now on. But don\u2019t you worry because Epic Games will still continue its development. They will also continue to figure out how they can evolve the game for Paragon to achieve growth and success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">If you want to try Paragon first-hand, it is free-to-download for Microsoft Windows <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cyberpowerpc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight:400;\">gaming computers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"> and laptops, as well as Sony PlayStation 4 console.
