Spectre Divide has been in the spotlight ever since the renowned streamer and former esports pro Shroud joined its development team. However, a big name doesn't always guarantee a successful project. Mountaintop Studios recently announced its closure and the impending shutdown of the game's servers.
The studio will officially cease to exist by the end of this week, while the servers will remain operational for just under a month. During this period, Mountaintop Studios has committed to refunding players for their in-game purchases. Unfortunately, Spectre Divide struggled to attract a significant audience or generate sufficient revenue to sustain operations.

It's easy to feel disheartened by yet another unsuccessful project, but this situation underscores the challenges of entering the live-service game market. Spectre Divide didn't offer anything groundbreaking or revolutionary to draw players in. Despite Shroud's popularity and esports background, the game couldn't bridge the gap between top-tier players and casual gamers, who have vastly different priorities.
Ultimately, another esports-inspired venture has fallen short in the competitive world of game development. Press F to pay respects.
