The shutdowns, which is able to occur on August 12th, will have an effect on Killzone: Mercenary, Killzone Shadow Fall, and Rigs: Mechanized Fight League.
“On-line options (together with on-line multiplayer modes) will stop on that date,” Guerrilla wrote in a tweet on Friday. “Single participant offline modes stay accessible.”

Each of the Killzone video games first launched in 2013, with Killzone: Mercenary popping out on the PlayStation Vita and Killzone Shadow Fall releasing for the PlayStation 4. Guerrilla had already lowered on-line performance in a small means in Killzone Shadow Fall; when it “retired” the Killzone franchise’s web site in January 2021, Guerrilla mentioned gamers might not make or handle clans within the sport. Rigs: Mechanized Fight League, a first-person mech shooter / sports activities sport, is a bit newer, launching for PlayStation VR in 2016.
These shutdowns are yet one more reminder that you may’t depend on a sport’s on-line performance being round eternally — one thing that was already high of thoughts after Ubisoft’s latest announcement that greater than a dozen video games can be dropping on-line companies. If you happen to’ve wished to leap again into any of those older video games which can be dropping their on-line multiplayer, now’s the time.
