Shadowbane News - Game Closing Permanently

Posted by Jon Wood on Apr 17, 2009 | 97 comments in our forums

MMORPG.com has learned that Wolfpack Studios is closing the doors on their MMO Shadowbane as of May 1st, 2009.

Wolfpack Studios and publisher Ubisoft announced today that Shadowbane, the company's MMO that had been running now since March 25th 2003, will be shutting down its severs permanently on May 1st, 2009.

The official announcement on the game's website doesn't offer a specific reason for the closure, but instead chooses to reflect fondly on the game and its players.

When a game closes, we here at MMORPG.com like to mark its passing by taking a look at just how many days the game has been online. Recently, many of the cancellation numbers have borne low day counts, so it is a triumph of sorts that we report Shadowbane's legacy included an impressive 2253 days in Aerynth.
