Scavengers, the survival shooter title from Improbable and Midwinter Entertainment, is shutting down next month – without the game ever having left early access.
Scavengers, a free-to-play title from former Halo and Battlefield developers, released into early access back in April 2021. Just over a year in, however, it seems that Scavengers’ days are numbered – and that the title won’t ever be leaving early access.
Indeed, the survival shooter is not long for this world – with Improbable getting ready to shut the game’s servers down next month on December 16.
That’s according to a post on the Scavengers website, in which Improbable blames a “decline in the playerbase” for the game’s imminent demise, adding “whilst we explored many options to reinvigorate server population while the game is in early access, it became clear that it was unsustainable to continue development and live service.
“We’re all proud of what we accomplished,” continues the post, “and are grateful to every player who took the time to play, even if it was just for a short while.”
