Stormgate is set to go offline-only at the end of April, with developers Frost Giant Studios having announced that the server provider for the strategy game’s multiplayer modes have decided they no longer want to be a server provider for online games. That’s a byproduct of said provider, Hathora, having been taken over by an AI company who plan on using their latest purchase “to work on compute orchestration for AI inference at scale”.
It’s always disappointing to see multiplayer modes being phased out, especially for a game like Stormgate that has so much potential. It’s clear that the developers have put a lot of effort into creating a great experience. Here’s hoping they find a way to keep the community engaged in the future!
