Harmony will quickly be gone, with it being taken offline tomorrow at time of writing following an announcement earlier this week basically saying the plug was being pulled.
It was disappointing information for all (49 at present on Steam) gamers who purchased into the sport, however they could a minimum of discover some solace in a brand new report that implies the approaching Secret Stage episode based mostly on Firewalk’s shooter will stay within the Amazon Prime sequence.
Introduced throughout Gamescom ONL 2024, the brand new sequence is a sequence of episodic tales advised inside the world of varied video games, together with Harmony. As considered one of 15 tales together with different titles reminiscent of Sifu, Warhammer 40K, Armored Core, PAC MAN, and extra, ideas instantly went as to whether or not a brand new recreation would take its place.
Not so, in keeping with an IGN supply. The episode will keep, and in all chance it’ll digitally outlive the sport it’s based mostly on by merely present on-line for longer than two weeks.
Until after all the sport does return correctly, as is recommended within the cancellation publish. In the event you genuinely love the sport there’s nonetheless hope, grim because it appears.
If the earlier profitable (and even the not-so-successful) online game variations have any sample to them, it’s that the variations are pushing individuals to the video games.
It’s technically doable that the Secret Stage episode might launch and drive-up curiosity in Harmony truly returning, although who’s to say whether or not or not PlayStation has already made up its thoughts at that time relating to the way forward for the reside service recreation.
The factor about it, is that whereas Harmony proved to be a strong shooter that maybe wasn’t doing something too particular, it did have robust foundations that might’ve been constructed on – the way in which all profitable reside service video games have achieved.
It was a nasty begin for certain, and there’s one thing to be mentioned about how the builders time is finest spent, when participant counts had been as little as they had been on such an enormous undertaking.
However for the sport to not even final greater than two weeks feels a bit prefer it may’ve been too quickly. In any case, there’s nonetheless the possibility it’ll return, even when the lone episode amongst a sequence of probably a lot better episodes fails to maneuver the needle.
Till we get the onerous information that it’s gone, we might nonetheless see it come again.
