It seems that Ubisoft will be killing off two of their video game titles on the PC platform. Unfortunately, if you were fans of Ghost Recon Phantoms or The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, you will only get to enjoy the video game for the limited amount of time.
News broke earlier today that both video game titles will have their servers shut down for good. This doesn’t come as too much of a shock as both titles were not the critical successes that Ubisoft hoped for.
Ghost Recon Phantoms is a free-to-play MMO that was first released in 2012 and there was even an installment in the works for the Wii U. However, the video game failed to receive a big following and because of it, Ubisoft has decided to end the title for good on December 1, 2016, just in time for the holidays. An official statement on the matter can be found on the Ghost Recon Phantoms website.
“GR Phantoms has been a tremendous undertaking and we really relished the opportunity to bring to you a different take on the GR franchise. We are proud of what we have achieved but of course, a game like this would be nothing without its community. We’d like to sincerely thank you for your support, enthusiasm, patience and above all, your loyalty. For the hours played, the fun in your company, the never ending deaths at Balaklava Sub-Pen, the fights to control Tomsk-9, the sounds of shotguns and the fear of the P90 SD WAR, we are grateful.
We would like to thank you for all this great moments and fun we shared with you. GRP has been a great adventure for us, with you.”
Likewise, The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot will have its servers shut down on October 25, 2016. Essentially, Ubisoft gave the same speech for their reasoning to shut the game servers down. All-in-all, there’s just not enough interest for either title.
