Scavengers
The free-to-play shooter Scavengers is about to be closed, as announced by the publisher Improbable, after just over a year of activity. The servers will be made inaccessible starting December 16, 2022. The reason for the decision is very simple: there has been an irreversible decline in the player base.Launched in April 2021, Scavengers was still in Early Access. Unfortunately we will never see the final version. The official message with the feral announcement leaves no room for doubt: "We made the difficult decision to close the game on December 16, 2022. The last few months have seen a decline in the player base and as we thought about various options to reinvigorate the population of the game. server while the game is still in Early Access, it has become clear that it is not sustainable to continue development and live service. "
That the game was not performing well was clear enough considering the last update was from in March 2022, shortly after the sale of developer Midwinter Entertainment to Behavior Interactive, the developer of Dead By Daylight.
In reality the situation was quite ambiguous, since these attempts to make the game survive have not been seen. Improbable himself has stated several times that he wants to focus on developing some metaverse, whatever it is. So the fate of Scavengers seemed more than sealed, since it was now a live service without live service.
On the other hand, the number of active daily players was really low, given that in recent months it had dropped below the one hundred units.
