Quantic Dream cierra Spellcasters Chronicles tras el bajo número de jugadores

Quantic Dream cerrará su MOBA gratuito Spellcasters Chronicles tras no haber logrado atraer a suficientes jugadores. El estudio se reorganizará, pero ha confirmado que el desarrollo de Star Wars Eclipse continúa sin cambios.

Quantic Dream anunció el cierre en un comunicado el 20 de mayo. El juego se lanzó en acceso anticipado en Steam en febrero y alcanzó un máximo de 888 jugadores simultáneos antes de caer por debajo de los 100 usuarios diarios. Los servidores permanecerán activos hasta el 19 de junio de 2026, fecha en la que se cerrarán definitivamente. Los jugadores que hayan gastado dinero durante el acceso anticipado pueden solicitar un reembolso completo.
