Developer Reloaded Games is shutting down the PC servers of free-to-play mech shooter Hawken and the game will no longer be available to purchase from January 2, 2018.
‘It’s been an incredible journey since the introduction of Hawken on Steam, back in 2014,’ a post on the game’s official Facebook page reads. ‘The game’s success has been largely due to your continuous support. The Hawken community has been the cornerstone of this ever-evolving franchise.’
‘After 3 great years, we are shutting down the PC Steam servers to refocus our development efforts,’ the post continues before mentioning that the game and all its DLC will be removed from Valve’s digital distribution service come January of next year.
Hawken launched on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in early July 2016, and judging by the language used in the announcement, the studio will now be focusing entirely on the game’s console players going forward. However, the message does end by thanking PC players for their support and mentions that ‘the team looks forward to creating more great games based on what we’ve learned from you.’
