Quantic Dream stellt Spellcasters Chronicles wegen niedriger Spielerzahlen ein

20. Mai 2026

Von KI berichtet

Quantic Dream schließt sein Free-to-Play-MOBA Spellcasters Chronicles, nachdem es nicht genügend Spieler gewinnen konnte. Das Studio wird sich umstrukturieren, hat jedoch bestätigt, dass die Entwicklung von Star Wars Eclipse davon unberührt bleibt.

Quantic Dream gab die Schließung am 20. Mai in einer Stellungnahme bekannt. Das Spiel startete im Februar als Early-Access-Titel auf Steam und erreichte in der Spitze 888 gleichzeitige Spieler, bevor die Zahl der täglichen Nutzer auf unter 100 sank. Die Server bleiben noch bis zum 19. Juni 2026 online und werden danach dauerhaft abgeschaltet. Spieler, die während der Early-Access-Phase Geld ausgegeben haben, können eine vollständige Rückerstattung beantragen.
