All the Games Delayed or Shut Down in 2024

249

Here, we’ll explore all the games delayed or shut down in 2024. Some were heartbreaking, some well-deserved, and others just a matter of time. Either way, these games were pulled from stores, had their servers shut down, or never saw the light of day.

1. Concord

We’re starting off with this, huh… After 8 years of development and 400 millions dollars spent, this game flopped so hard upon release that they announced the game will be shut down after 14 days. The game was uninspiring and pushing through several production dramas only to be hammered down. Don’t know if I should feel sorry for it or just laugh it off. Only if it released back then, maybe things wouldn’t be so harsh.

2. The Day Before

Boy, this game had it coming. It’s an all out scam. The game advertized a lot but who knows, they all were fake. The 2 devs who started all this bailed leaving the whole team behind after announcements and announcements. This game was the top game in Steam wish list, for crying out loud. And let this be a lesson not to fall for pre-orders. The game was pulled down from the stores in January this year.

3. Hood: Outlaws & Legends

Now, this one was a fun game. It had interesting elements, mechanics, enemies, maps, etc. It’s sad to see this game passing on in February this year. I guess it was too much to handle for an extended time.

4. Blue Protocol

Another sad death of a much anticipated game. It’s free-to-play with gacha in it. Seems to be that the devs had little experience doing gacha with MMO. It was shut down in January this year. RIP.

6. Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland

Ubisoft’s negligence truely knows no bound. This game was being handled by a small team then it got canceled since the company wants to pursue their own agendas (like making 50 Assassin’s Creed games or whatever). For once, this had some potential if enough care was put into it.

7. Codename Kestrel

Remedy’s first multiplayer game got canceled this year after some development. It’s supposed to have characters from all of their IPs with similar gameplay. They probably realized it won’t do as good so they had to abandon it. Could’ve been fun though. RIP.

8. XDefiant

Another Ubisoft game that they axed themselved. The game had it really going at first. It was just another Call of Duty clone with little twists. As usual, they game was broken, and had tons of bugs and glitches that were infuriating. Bet they got tired of hearing complaints and decided to pull the plug.

9. Crime Boss: Rockay City

Another one to bite the dust this year. It’s a game with lots of celebrities but zero polish. Aside from the techinical issues, the game is just bearbones soulless. Good thing this got shut down and hopefully everyone forgets this ever existed.

10. Realm Royale

This one’s a sad passing of a game that could’ve been great but was overshadowed but the other contemporaries. It had a dedicated community and seenmn some support. After much struggle, the plug was pulled.

11. Divine Knockout

Another battle royale game that went under after much hype. The issues with this game could’ve gotten fixed and it’s unique aspect was pretty fun.

12. The Crew

So much for a game from an older generation. This has been runnning for almost a decade and had it’s dedicated fans. Guess it was just about time this went off as well.

13. Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance

This taught a lesson that a board game should stay a board game. Who am I kidding? It had potential but came out as a cookie cutter RPG. No one seems to be interested in it hence it shut down.

14. Assassin’s Creed Shadows

I sure hope this never see the light of day. Despite all the controversies and outrageous takes on an important historic period, they’ll still do anything to release it and people will buy it no matter what. It’s a fools world we live in. The game’s supposed to be out this December but inevitably got delayed.

15. Ark 2

Another game that keeps getting delayed. At this point, no one knows what’s gonna happen to this.

Now, a quick round of games that got delayed.
