Soulcalibur: Lost Swords, the free-to-play fighting game which was launched last year for the PS3 via PSN will be shut down later this year. It has been a very short life span for the game, considering that it’s such a high-profile affair.
Bandai Namco’s Soulcalibur: Lost Swords has had more than 2 million downloads till date, but will be shutting down on November 30. Sale of all consumable items within this free-to-play title will come to a close on September 30, while all in-game item sales will be discontinued from October 30 onwards, before the fighter becomes completely defunct on November 30 at 3am EDT.
The video in the space down below has developers revealing this news to fans, but they have made sure to disclose that something big is coming to the series soon. However, no reason for its closure has been mentioned yet.
Soulcalibur: Lost Swords happens to be a single-player game which is quite unlike other titles from the famous series. This game of course, grabs the same weapon-based combat system that its predecessors are known for, while it offers microtransactions for gaining slight advantages in gameplay.
