Sure thing, here’s a fresh take on that Skyforge article:
—
So, Skyforge. You know, that sci-fi fantasy MMORPG that kind of sneaked up on us back in 2015 is officially—how to put it?—kicking the bucket on October 29. At least on consoles. Funny enough, it’s already vanished from Steam. That left many of us scratching our heads or wondering, “what even is Skyforge?” (Yep, I asked myself that too.) But for those who followed it for years, it’s like saying goodbye to an old pen pal.
Anyway, Obsidian Entertainment and Allods Team, the minds behind this wild ride, once bagged a few nods like MMORPG of the Year. Okay, that was a while back. It got its start on PC before bouncing to PS4 and eventually making its merry way to Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Speaking of which, the Switch is where it’ll make its final stand. Or bow. Or whatever consoles do when they sign off.
So, Innova, the game’s publisher, just broke the news: no more Skyforge. Well, it’s a slow fade rather than a hard stop. We’ve still got until October 29 for the console folks. PC? You’re out sooner, like in early September. I mean, it was already sort of a ghost town over there—Steam showed, what, 16 people playing around the end? Not exactly bustling.
Now here’s the kicker, despite its shaky end, there’s something a tad poetic about this wind-down. Skyforge is pushing out a last hurrah, an “experimental bang” is what they’re calling it. Sounds cryptic. But hey, maybe they’re thinking wild events and gear for the diehards. Or it’s just a final “peace out” before they pull the plug.
Weirdly fitting that it’s not the only game saying goodbye—turns out a few other titles are packing it in come October 2025, all from EA. Gaming world’s got its own kind of autumn, I guess.
And that’s the story. Or sort of the story. Maybe you’ll get a chance to dive in one last time. Or maybe, like me, you’ll just wonder if the tires sounded like wet cardboard on ice when it finally said goodbye. Who knows.
