While babylon’s fall is a disappointment, there are statements from the producer and distributor that hopes for the game have not been given up; It is said that the future of the game is not in danger, and additional content will continue to be produced as originally planned.
Babylon’s Fall; It has the lowest average PS5 game on Metacritic and the lowest average game of the year. According to SteamDB data, the highest number of simultaneous players it has seen is 1,188 and the peak it has seen in the last 24 hours is 315 players. It doesn’t offer a positive picture for a live-service game. But it turns out Square Enix and PlatinumGames haven’t given up yet.
A post on Babylon’s Fall’s Twitter account said: “We are very sorry. NieR: Automata is also being announced, with a statement on the future of Babylon’s Fall. “Is the future of the game in danger?”, the statement read. It is stated that there are no plans to downsize the developer team, that season 2 content has been largely completed, that work has begun for season 3 and beyond, that new content will continue to be added to the game and improvements will continue to be made in light of feedback from players.
We’ll see in the coming months whether these enhancements and additional content save Babylon’s Fall, or if after a while PlatinumGames and Square Enix will also uncheck the delivery flag and unplug the game.
