The launch of the online game Mirage: Arcane Warfare was anything but successful. Now a free promotion is set to bring in more players.
Mirage: Arcane Warfare was intended to be a sort of fantasy Overwatch. However, hardly anyone wants to play it. At the time this news was written, there was only one player online according to Steamcharts. The peak number of concurrent players in the past 24 hours was eight. Numbers like these cannot sustain an online game, especially not one that is a competitive team brawler.
Free promotion aims to attract players
The developers are aware that they have a massive problem. One developer mentioned that the sales figures for Mirage are very poor, and that sucks.
To attract more players, a free promotion starts today, September 6th. You can purchase the title for free for 24 hours and keep it even after the time expires.
Is the competition too strong? – Flop despite decent Metacritic score
The game’s ratings on Steam are currently plummeting, which is not particularly conducive to enticing new players to Mirage. It should actually be fun and offer exciting team fights. Why there is currently no interest cannot be said.
Some players believe that it simply doesn’t offer enough variety and cannot compete with the “big players” in the market such as Overwatch or Paragon. It may also be that the predecessor Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is an issue, which is actually doing quite well. Why would players want to play two very similar games from the same developer studio?
The surprising thing is that major gaming magazines were quite satisfied with Mirage: Arcane Warfare. The game has a respectable 74% on Metacritic.
The promotion starts today at 7 PM on Steam and runs until tomorrow at 7 PM. During this time, anyone who wants can grab a copy for free. After the end of the 24-hour window, the price of Mirage: Arcane Warfare will be permanently reduced from around 28€ to 10€.
