Violence District has been very popular since its release in late May, averaging around 20,000 concurrent players since then. However, the Dead by Daylight-inspired experience has been taken down from Roblox on September 1st, 2025, and the reason behind it is bizarre in the very least. So, let’s dive into it and unveil the mystery behind Roblox’s takedown of Violence District.
Why was Violence District taken down from Roblox?
Violence District was removed from the Roblox platform on September 1st, 2025, by an automated AI system that detected a blood decal within the game’s resources. The developers immediately confirmed this on the Violence District Discord server, explaining that they are already working on restoring the game. However, it might take some time before VD is back on Roblox.
The exact reason why Violence District was taken down is rather bizarre, as many games on Roblox have similar gore elements, and nothing happened to them. For example, Forsaken, which is another popular DBD clone, features survivors getting split in half by the killers. However, Forsaken is still up and running without issues.
At first, most of the playerbase assumed that a copyright infringement caused the takedown of Violence District, as the game resembles DBD a bit too much. So, before the developers confirmed the real reason, many players had already concluded that the new moderation system might be the one to blame for the awkward situation.
When will Violence District be back on Roblox?
Unfortunately, there is no way to tell how long it will take until Violence District is back on Roblox. Developers have already contacted Roblox’s support staff, but as of the writing of this article, they still haven’t responded. Hopefully, players will be able to enjoy Violence District again in the coming days. Make sure to check up on the #announcements channel of the VD Discord server for updates on the situation.
