- Spectre Divide is officially shutting down just 5 months after it launched.
- The game was developed by Mountaintop Studios and backed by streamer Shroud.
- The studio is also shutting down because they’ve run out of funding.
Spectre Divide was launched as a competitor to other FPS games in the genre but with a unique twist. Fronted by popular streamer Shroud and developed by Mountaintop Studios, the game couldn’t take off as the company might’ve expected.
Now, just five months after its September launch, Spectre Divide and its developers, Mountaintop Studios, are officially shutting down within the next 30 days.
Why it matters: The game had an innovative idea and striking visuals that gave it a unique personality. Unfortunately, it just couldn’t click with the gamers, which has led to its shutting down soon.
Mountaintop Studios has released a statement revealing that Spectre Divide will shut down in the next 30 days. Two weeks ago, the launch of Season 1 couldn’t achieve the level of success that the studio had hoped for.
While the first week marked a decent number of 400,000 players with a peak of 10,000 daily, the player count has decreased significantly. Today, the game hit just over 300 concurrent players, showing a huge decline.
The studio says that the situation has made it impossible for them to continue working on the game, as they are now out of funding after the PC release. However, they say the entire journey was memorable, and they are thankful to the fans.
It isn’t clear what Shroud’s role in the entire development was. Based on Mountaintop’s statement, it seems that the game was just backed by the streamer and not necessarily his title. Nonetheless, it is sad to see the game shut down this quickly.
