Cory DeVante Williams has been using the alias Coryxkenshin since joining YouTube on April 26, 2009. Fans knew that Coryxkenshin uploaded videos irregularly, but it has been over eight months since his last upload, assuming something happened to the YouTuber again.
Taking a break from social media and YouTube has always been Coryxkenshin thing, but it was either because he had some stress and anxiety issues. Sometimes, it would be for family time.
His last update was that he was busy helping his mom with some stuff and handling his personal life, which is not open to the public.
Some fans assume that Coryxkenshin has not found a game of his liking or finds it challenging to record, as he was always a one-man army without editors. So, coping with several hours of video shoots and editing might be exhausting.
One of the Reddit users says, “He’s getting old. He’s been doin this for 10 years. He sacrificed so much for it. But after 10 years, it gets hard to go and play a game and talk to yourself for 3 hours then edit for another 2-4.”
Key Takeaways
- Coryxkenshin has not reported any health issues or reasons for taking the break.

Others mention that he might be planning to retire after reaching certain milestones, which he has often mentioned in his videos, following the pathways of other YouTubers like Mat Pat and Scott Cawthon.
Coryxkenshin last mentioned retiring in 2021 if he reached 10 Million subscribers on his YouTube channel. But he backed off, saying, “I am not going to retire. I might go to school and start another channel, hoping for it also to hit 10 Million subscribers.”
This came as a relief to his followers, who find his videos inspiring. Unless Coryxkenshin comes forward, the assumptions about what happened to him will continue.
