PlanetSide Arena to Shutdown Online Server

Developers at Daybreak Games announced to shut down PlanetSide Arena servers by next month.

Originally announced back in December 2018, massively multiplayer online first-person shooter title PlanetSide Arena was launched on Steam Early Access on September 2019 and despite being a free-to-play game, has struggled to gain players.

Despite aiming with an ambitious vision to arrange large-scale combat among players online through various game modes, current state of player count for their game will not make it possible for them to continue anymore.

Developers at Daybreak already had a year one roadmap planned out for the multiplayer shooter spin-off to PlanetSide 2 that was aiming at 250 on 250 deathmatch but now, that is not going to happen anymore after server shut down.

It started with a concurrent player number above one thousand and it started to fall gradually over time. At one point last month, there was only one participant logged in, which is an all-time low for a game that should have much more.

There was a plan to launch a PlayStation 4 version alongside Steam release this summer but that has seemingly been cancelled as well. Arena suffered from lack of players and that is due to a very generic gameplay style, which feels dated.
