For a game with the name infinite in its titles, it sure didn’t take long for the game to go the way of the Dodo. Turbine Studio’s DC Comics based MOBA Infinite Crisis will officially bring its servers down at the end of this summer; the announcement coming via the games official website.
Infinite Crisis didn’t last long as the game only officially launched this March. This has to be the fastest shutdown for a MOBA to date, especially one with such a high-profile license. For those of you that don’t know Infinite Crisis was a MOBA (think League of Legends) that is based on the worlds of DC Comics. It was a great idea, and the developers had a near infinite amount of characters to pull from the DC multiverse.
Still, for how cool the game was it just wasn’t meant to be in the end. Infinite Crisis has been in the Beta stages since 2011, and as someone who never really got into League of Legends, I played Infinite Crisis on and off since that initial Beta. As a huge fan of the DC universe, Infinite Crisis was right up my alley. Sadly I won’t be able to run around as all the wild versions of the Justice League for much longer.
The developers had the following to say on the shutdown:
After much deliberation, we regret to announce the official shutdown of Infinite Crisis. We will end development efforts today and will close the service on August 14. Between now and August 14, the game will remain available to play completely free. This was an extremely difficult decision to make. On behalf of the entire Infinite Crisis team we want to thank all of you for your feedback, support and for joining together to create one of the best communities in gaming.
