Uitgevers Square-Enix en ontwikkelaar PlatinumGames maken vandaag bekend dat de stekker uit de co-op actiegame Babylon’s Fall wordt getrokken.
De game verkocht niet goed en ook de reviews waren over het algemeen negatief. PlatinumGames beloofde de game te verbeteren met updates en nieuwe content, maar nu een jaar na de release heeft Square-Enix besloten om de stekker eruit te trekken. Vanaf 27 februari 2023 worden de servers offline gehaald.
“With the desire of delivering an exhilarating online multiplayer action RPG set in an elaborate high fantasy world, we launched the game’s official service on Thursday, March 3, 2022, and have continued to undertake additional development and operations,” the developers say. “However, it is with deep regret to inform you that we will be terminating the game’s service on February 27, 2023.”
“As a way of expressing our gratitude to all our players, we plan to implement as many events and other initiatives as we can, leading up to the end of the service.”
“Leading up until today, we received a lot of feedback from all our Sentinels through multiple surveys, official livestreams, our official Discord server, and social media channels, which has been a great help to us in the Development and Operations teams,” the post concludes. “In particular, through our surveys we received a great deal of enthusiastic messages of support alongside keen observations of issues and suggestions for improvement.
“This really made us feel that we were able to create the world of Babylon’s Fall together with our players. Despite all of your support, we are truly sad and sorry to say that we will be unable to continue with the game’s service.”
