What you need to know
Disintegration, the unique RTS/FPS hybrid game from the ex-Halodeveloper-led V1 Interactive, has had its multiplayer modes slashed from the game on all platforms in a surprise update on its blog. That means by Nov. 17, the multiplayer will be unplayable.
The news was delivered in ablog postfrom V1 Interactive, in which the developer stated that Disintegration “unfortunately struggled to build a significant audience necessary for a compelling multiplayer experience” and that the decision to sunset the multiplayer was made after careful consideration.
The post says the removal will be done in “phases.” Today, for example, the developers are removing the in-game store. It also mentions that the singleplayer will still be playable even after the full removal.
This news is, frankly,shockingconsidering the fact that the game has only been out for three months. Inmy review, I noted that the multiplayer was one of the best parts of the game. Therefore, I’m sad to see the multiplayer support go, especially this soon. Hopefully V1 Interactive can deliver a more successful game in the future.
Press F to pay respects
Disintegration’s multiplayer lifespan was a short and disappointing one. Now, only the game’s mediocre singleplayer remains. Press F.
Correction:We clarified that the multiplayer will be removed in phases, not immediately.
