🃏Amazon Games has announced that it will no longer continue developing Crucible, the studio's first big-budget game. This comes just♔ five months after the free-to-play shooter launched in May.

Sometime in the next few weeks, there will be "a final playtest and community celebration" in-game and over on Amazon's official Discord. Afterward, matchmaking 🍎will be taken offline, which means if you want to play Crucible you'll need to do so through the custom games feature. Servers for custom games will be taken down at noon PT / 3pm ET / 8pm BST on Monday, November 9.

from Amazon about Crucible refunds.

In June, Amazon pulledไ Crucible back into closed beta to work on some things it felt would "enhance the player experience." But after shipping those changes and hearing feedback from players, the studio decided it was best to move on to other projects. 

"We very much appreciate the way that our fans have rallied around our efforts, and we've loved seeing your responses to the changes we've made over the last few months, but ultimately we didn't see a healthy, sustainable future ahead of Crucible," Amazon Games said in . The developers working on Crucible will be moved to work on Amazon's MMO 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:New World, as well as "other upcoming projects."

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing a🔯bout whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
