Demise

On 2025 July 11, Bridge Duel was taken down by Roblox due to a notice from Tracer, who acts on behalf of Mojang. DarkenedRing chose not to send a counter-notice due to the risk of a lawsuit. This means that the original game will never return.

Official announcement: https://discord.com/channels/1009457820736946189/1009460794649485442/1393284837909201008

Many players voiced their dismay at this news and that they believe that it is not legal for Tracer to do this.

The #general channel in the Discord server was soon locked.
