On October 20, 2021, Elyon was released in the EU/NA. The game was made free-to-play even before the release and those who had pre-ordered it got some compensation.[6] The game ran in the West for less than a year before the publisher announced its closure. The game was discontinued in the EU and NA on December 7, 2022.[7]
It was also announced that the game was shutting down in Korea on 2 March 2023.[8] ELYON SEA was shut down on 27 April 2023,[9] leaving Japan as the last region where the game was available at the time. Beginning September 19, Elyon was shut down in Japan by its publisher Pmang, ending Elyon's existence in any capacity.[10]
