Many modders have since ironed out the kinks with the likes of DSFix. With that, it's hard to predict how well the PC port will operate from a technical standpoint, but Dark Souls' own is infamous within the community for being unoptimized and buggy while lacking a slew of expected features. The Canadian outfit has worked with Sony before on the Orcs Must Die! Unchained console port for PlayStation 4, but God of War will be the opposite, taking a PlayStation game and making it work on PC rather than the other way around. In addition to these three server closures, Robot Entertainment laid off 3 0 team members early last year as par to what it called “strategic shift” to focus on its unreleased project.As reported by Ars Technica, Sony has confirmed that Jetpack Interactive is helming God of War's PC Port while developer Santa Monica Studio, who is currently working on the follow-up God of War Ragnarok, is overseeing the project.

The studio has been scaling down its development efforts for nearly a year now as it looks to focus its efforts on the now two unannounced titles it has in development. At some point in the lead up to that closure, Robot Entertainment will be removing the games from sale and the ability to create new accounts for each, though a set end-date for those features hasn’t been set. We could not maintain the pace of operating system updates from Apple.”Īll three of the games will close down fully on April 8 at 10 AM central standard time. That game, according to the developer, has been “technically obsolete for a long time now. Though still playable to those that had previously downloaded it, Hero Academy was removed from the App Store in early 2018 following a series of OS updates from Apple that phased out older and 32-bit iOS apps. In the case of the original Hero Academy, Apple’s iOS updates are also partially to blame. Robot Entertainment offers more details on the specifics of the closure in a post over on its blog, and notes that the three games have already been running at a financial loss for several months. Though unfortunate, it’s not uncommon for developers to close down online servers for games once the cost of keeping them up and running starts to outweigh the money those games bring in. Both the Hero Academy games released for Android, iOS, and PC while Orcs Must Die! Unchained released for PC and PlayStation 4.
