After launchinginto early access in April last year, the free-to-play shooterScavengersis closing down. Its servers will close on December 16th, with publishers Improbable pinning the cause on a “decline in the playerbase.”
“We have been quiet for a while now, and firstly we just want to apologize for that,” starts thepost announcing the shut down. “We have an update for Scavengers but it is one that we share with a heavy heart. We have made the difficult decision to shut the game down on December 16, 2022. The last few months have seen a decline in the playerbase, and whilst we explored many options to reinvigorate server population while the game is in early access, it became clear that it was unsustainable to continue development and live service.”
