The airship game Cloud Pirates lasts barely half a year. In September, the game will be discontinued.
As my.com announces, the air combat game Cloud Pirates will be discontinued on September 29. The servers will close. My.com does not provide reasons for the sudden end – it probably has to do with the lack of player demand. The game launched in April 2017 as a free-to-play title.
Final Frontier 1.7 is still coming to Cloud Pirates
Ironically, they are introducing “Final Frontier”, update 1.7, even with the death knell. This brings a new PvE mode and custom matches.
Additionally, starting today:
- The progress in Cloud Pirates will be 50% faster.
- Additionally, in-game content will now only cost 1 gold.
- Everything that used to cost rubies will now only cost one ruby.
- DLC on Steam is also free.
My.com also offers to replace everything that players have purchased since July 12, or players will be able to transfer rubies into premium currencies from other My.com games.
Stöffel strikes again, yet another game killed
Cloud Pirates is the next game on the death list of our author Jürgen Stöffel. Every game that Stöffel likes seems to be cursed, and commercial failure is certain. In December 2016, he already complained: These are all games I like, but you don’t.
Most of the games on his list have not been heard from since.
Stöffel enjoyed Cloud Pirates greatly during a play session in March 2017. He noted Cloud Pirates had great potential. The setting fascinated him, and being able to float and shoot joyfully thrilled the deadly MMO author – an end was therefore inevitable.
Cloud Pirates: First impression – World of Warships meets Steampunk
Players of Destiny 2 should therefore be seriously concerned – he also liked the MMO shooter. We will therefore ensure, for safety reasons, that no review copy falls into his hands.
