A full event schedule, as well as the official statement by Platinum Games, can be found onBabylon’s Fall’s official website. As a way of expressing their gratitude to all players, the developers also announced that they will be implementing as many events and other initiatives as possible between now and the termination of Babylon’s Fall.
Babylon’s Fall only launched earlier this year, but after receiving extremely negative reviews from both critics and fans, the game was quickly branded as a failure. As reported by VGC, Babylon’s Fall saw less than 700 people playing on Steam when it released back in February.
A vastly lower number compared to Square Enix’s other live service title, Marvel’s Avengers, which saw a concurrent player count of roughly 28,000 on release day. Despite the much higher player count, Marvel’s Avengers was also a disappointing release for Square Enix.
At the time of writing, Babylon’s Fall has a “mixed” review rating on Steam, with only 267 reviews in total.
Once the game’s servers are terminated next year, all gameplay data will be deleted. Babylon’s Fall will also be pulled from sale, both physically and digitally, following the publication of today’s announcement.
