Deathverse: Let It Die Will Be Redeveloped After Going Offline

Developer GungHo Online Entertainment has revealed it will be shutting down the servers for the free-to-play game Deathverse: Let It Die less than four months after it was released. The game will have been available on the PS Store for less than a year when it is taken down on July 18, 2023. This won’t be the last you see of it, though.

The company admits it is discontinuing the PS5, PS4 experience so it can be redeveloped and rereleased “with significant upgrades [that] will allow it to be enjoyed by a larger audience as well as our present gamers,” according to the firm. Despite having to deny players access, GungHo believes that this is the best course of action for the game at this time. According to a post on the official Deathverse website, “We will be trying our utmost to prepare for the re-release so that our present community can enjoy the game with many more new players in the future.”

The team cites matchmaking and lag problems as the reasons why the game is being temporarily suspended. While we have attempted a number of remedies with varying degrees of success, we have not been able to address the root causes. In order to allow for the development of Deathverse, GungHo Online Entertainment will shut down the servers for an undetermined period of time.

The premium currency Death Metal will no longer be sold between now and the server termination on July 18, 2023, and season two as a whole will be made available. Season 3 will, however, only “partially” premiere. Finally, the blog post says: “We in the development team sincerely regret the abrupt notice to our devoted players. We would like to sincerely thank all of our gamers for their support and extend our sincere regrets.”

The free-to-play sequel to the PS4 game Let It Die seems to have had trouble attracting a player base, or at least one as sizable as that of its predecessor. Let It Die received support for several years after release for a dedicated audience, which included Sony’s own Shuhei Yoshida. Let It Die was not the most well-liked game on Sony’s last-generation console. The hope now is that GungHo Online Entertainment can pull a Final Fantasy XIV and come back with a better and more well-liked game.

PAYDAY 3 Developer Announces D&D Live Service Multiplayer

The Starbreeze cooperative multiplayer game Project Baxter is expected to follow PAYDAY. The official Dungeons & Dragons logo is on Starbreeze. However, we do not expect the studio to revere RPG settings like Larian did with Baldur’s Gate 3.

Starbreeze will develop and publish Project Baxter in 2026 for all major platforms. The company says it “will carry the signature Starbreeze game cornerstones of cooperative multiplayer, lifetime commitment through a Games as a Service model, community engagement, and a larger than life experience.”

Forgive the skepticism, but PAYDAY 3, Starbreeze’s latest release, lagged behind due to server issues that the CEO had to apologize for, taking two months to release the heist shooter’s first patch. It’s a disappointing story that may have gone unnoticed in a year with The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, Kong: Rise of Skull Island, and The Walking Dead: Destinies.

Would you like a Starbreeze multiplayer live service D&D game? Is this to capitalize on the setting’s moment between Baldur’s Gate and the surprising good Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves?

Free Soccer Simulator Finally More Single Player on eFootball, But Not Like League

Konami promised that free-to-play soccer sim eFootball would add PES’ massively popular Master League mode, but while this month’s v3.20 update will add more solo content, you’ll have to wait. My League lets you play full seasons as a single player with changing weather and exclusive rewards to reduce the wait.

You’ll replace a real team from your league, like England or Italy. The gacha system unlocks players that you’ll use to fight the AI and win the table. Play through the mode as many times as you want, with custom cutscenes and other features to track your progress. It all seems like a way to make dream team gameplay appealing to offline players.

Online play is also getting better. A new tier system will match you with players of similar skill levels, and co-op will soon let you join strangers instead of friends. You can use emojis to discuss your matches’ successes and failures or strategize with new allies.

We assume new cards with perks will allow Konami to create “rarer” versions of players when they perform certain real-life feats. A new login feature will include a penalty-taking minigame where you must score a goal to climb a ladder and unlock in-game rewards like virtual currency. For now, that’s it.

The critically panned game improves, but not as fast as former PES fans would like. The gameplay is good, and there are more things to do, but without that meaty single-player mode, old-school franchise fans will always rank it lower. Konami should revive one of the best solo sports game modes soon.

This could reach 100 million by the end of the day as it’s shared worldwide and fans search for Easter eggs and secrets. How many times have you seen the new trailer?
