Ubisoft has announced the closure of two free to play titles – Ghost Recon Phantoms and The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot – in the coming months.
Ghost Recon Phantoms will be shut down on December 1st with Ubisoft Singapore thanking fans for their support. The developer noted that audience outreach simply wasn’t strong enough. “Unfortunately, GRP was not as successful as we had hoped for, so we had to make the decision to close the game. This decision wasn’t easy for us and we tried to find other ways. But in the end we decided to close the game and focus on other projects.”
As for The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot, the reasons were fairly similar – the game wasn’t as popular as the publisher Ubisoft wanted. Subsequently, it will be shutting down in October. “Unfortunately, Mighty Quest for Epic Loot was not as successful as we had hoped for, so we had to make the decision to close the game. This decision wasn’t easy for us and we tried to find other ways. But in the end we decided to close the game and focus on other projects.”
Unfortunately, there don’t seem to be refunds for Ghost Recon Phantoms’ micro-transactions. What are your thoughts on both games’ closures? Let us know in the comments.
