Harmony will quickly be gone, with it being taken offline tomorrow at time of writing following an announcement earlier this week primarily saying the plug was being pulled.
It was disappointing information for all (49 presently on Steam) gamers who purchased into the sport, however they could at the least discover some solace in a brand new report that means the approaching Secret Stage episode primarily based on Firewalk’s shooter will stay within the Amazon Prime collection.
Introduced throughout Gamescom ONL 2024, the brand new collection is a collection of episodic tales instructed throughout the world of varied video games, together with Harmony. As considered one of 15 tales together with different titles akin to 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 response to an IGN supply. The episode will keep, and in all probability it would digitally outlive the sport it’s primarily based on by merely present on-line for longer than two weeks.
Except in fact the sport does return correctly, as is recommended within the cancellation put up. When 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 folks to the video games.
It’s technically doable that the Secret Stage episode might launch and drive-up curiosity in Harmony really 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 sturdy foundations that might’ve been constructed on – the best way all profitable reside service video games have performed.
It was a nasty begin for certain, and there’s one thing to be stated about how the builders time is finest spent, when participant counts have been as little as they have been on such an enormous challenge.
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 prospect it’ll return, even when the lone episode amongst a collection of doubtless significantly better episodes fails to maneuver the needle.
Till we get the arduous information that it’s gone, we might nonetheless see it come again.
