New Wave of Game Shutdowns Announced

Despite all the new game launches and betas going into the PAX West week, it looks like some free-to-play games are closing their doors.

Ubisoft has announced four game shutdowns this week, with servers planned to sunset in October:

• Ghost Recon Phantoms
• Mighty Quest for Epic Loot
• Might and Magic Duel of Champions
• EndWar Online

Microsoft also announced the shut down of the Russian Halo Online, which had not yet come West.

Finally Firefall, which has been silent for months with no updates from Red 5 Studios and no developer posts, has finally seemed to fade away entirely as the Firefall website (and Red 5 Studios’ as well) has gone offline. Red 5 Studios hit some trouble at the end of 2015 with unpaid staff and reorganizations announced in January, but it seems all efforts may have fully fallen through as even the login servers are now offline.
