As of 14 March 2012 Jolt's CEO Richard Barnwell announced through the Utopia Kingdoms forum that the company would be closing in the next couple of days:
"It's my job to oversee the Games Studios and all of the people and games within them. So as you can imagine, Utopia Kingdoms has been a big part of my life. It's therefore with disappointment I have to share the news with you that Jolt will be closing down at the end of the week - March 16th 2012."
