Spectre Divide has been in the spotlight ever since it was revealed that the renowned streamer and former esports pro Shroud was involved in its development. However, a prominent name doesn't always guarantee success. In a disappointing turn of events, Mountaintop Studios has announced its closure and the imminent shutdown of the shooter's servers.
The studio itself is set to dissolve by the end of this week, with the servers scheduled to stay operational for just under a month. During this period, Mountaintop Studios will process refunds for player purchases. The game's failure to capture a substantial audience or generate sufficient revenue has led to this unfortunate decision.

It's disheartening to see another project falter, but this situation underscores the immense challenges of breaking into the live-service gaming market. Let's face it—Spectre Divide didn't bring anything groundbreaking or revolutionary to the table, which failed to attract players in droves. Even Shroud's celebrity status and esports pedigree couldn't secure the game's success. The truth is, there's a significant divide between top-tier players and casual gamers, each with distinct priorities.
Ultimately, another esports-inspired venture has not met its mark in the competitive world of game development. Press F to pay respects.
