Spectre Divide, a Valorant-like free-to-play shooter where you control two bodies, is shutting down just months after its September launch.We were optimistic about the first week, developer Mountaintop Studios says in a post. Weve had ~400,000 players play, with a peak concurrent player count of ~10,000 across all platforms. But as time has gone on, we havent seen enough active players and incoming revenue to cover the day-to-day costs of Spectre and the studio.The studio expects to take Spectre Divide offline within the next 30 days, and it will refund all money since the games first season, which kicked off on February 25th. Mountaintop Studios will also be closing its doors at the end of the week, according to the post.We pursued every avenue to keep going, including finding a publisher, additional investment, and/or an acquisition, Mountaintop says. In the end, we werent able to make it work. The industry is in a tough spot right now.RelatedIn December, Mountaintop CEO Nate Mitchell and Spectre Divide game director Lee Horn told The Verge that things were already dire, and that the games console launch and new season would be its hail mary play. Horn said that the marketing was working going into launch, but that server issues at launch axed its momentum. Unfortunately, the game fell over on day one, he admitted. Mitchell told us the game needed thousands of concurrent players if it was going to survive, or else the company would run out of money this year. Unfortunately, the games new season peaked at just over 1,000 concurrents on Steam, and has been downhill ever since; presumably, Mountaintop saw its multiplatform peak of around 10,000 players drop similarly.If the players are enjoying the game... if they arent into season one, they way we hope they are, well have to take a hard look at if we should keep going on as we are, or if players are telling us this isnt what we want, Mitchell told us in December. Apparently, Mountaintop did have to take that hard look, and this is its decision.The Spectre Divide shutdown follows the disastrous launch of Sonys forgettable Concord hero shooter. Sony has since closed down Concords development studio and permanently shut down the game.Additional reporting by Sean HollisterSee More:
