Jetbike FPS Disintegration is turning off its multiplayerPutting multiplayer in mothballs.

Putting multiplayer in mothballs.

Sorry,Disintegration. Your gravity-defying motorbikes might’ve been fast, but it looks like they couldn’t keep pace when it came to multiplayer. A mere 3 months after release, V1 Interactive and Private Division announced they’ll be mothballing the game’s online offerings, starting today with the removal of the in-game store.

A lotta buzz aroundDisintegration’s revealcame from V1’s lineage. Halo buff Marcus Leto was making a daft jetbike space romp, after all. Ultimately, however, the game was… fine. In hisDisintegration review, Henry Stockdale reckoned it was carrying some pretty neat ideas in a fairly bland overall package.

“Disintegration has a lot of room for improvement, but I enjoyed my time with it, and it succeeds in finding a balance between its shooting and strategic elements. It’s the kind of game I hope gets a sequel, one which is bolder in pursuing its ideas, and not just in its character names.”

Disintegration’s singleplayer campaign will stick around, of course. And honestly, it sounds like the game’s hybrid dogfighting-tactics mash worked better against AI goons. But if you were one of the few fans of Disintegration’s PVP, you’ve got about 2 months to get your last few games in before it’s gone for good.
