Wargaming Discontinues F2P Shooter Steel Hunters After a Brief Three-Month Run

The free-to-play live-service shooter Steel Hunters is set to shut down merely months following its early access release. According to Wargaming, the game's developer and publisher, the decision to discontinue development stems from the conclusion that it is not viable to continue. This announcement comes despite the community's passionate support. Released on April 2, the game currently holds a 'mixed' user review score on Steam, with its all-time concurrent player peak at 4479, achieved on its launch day. The game's servers are scheduled to remain operational until early October. In a statement, the development team expressed their gratitude to the players, acknowledging the community's invaluable feedback, humor, and memorable gaming experiences. The team reflected on the community's role in shaping the game from its alpha stages, praising their creativity, dedication, and energy.
