Babylon’s Fall: born on a Monday, buried on Sunday

Alas, poor Babylon’s Fall. The sport has lastly fallen down its last flight of stairs. As we reported practically six months in the past, the sport’s finish of life arrived on the finish of February, however people are simply now noticing that the studio printed patch notes for it.

Accessible to peruse publicly on Steam, the Model 1.4.0 patch notes merely state:

The final patch the sport hosted was all the best way again in November of 2022, the place the crew reminded gamers that it could be the ultimate replace. Earlier than that the crew distributed a launch patch, a minor replace shortly after launch, and patches in April, Might, and July of that very same yr. The “dwell service aspect” of the sport primarily lasted from March 2022 till just a few months later in early September.

We hardly knew ye, Babylon’s Fall

As somebody who truly performed Babylon’s Fall from delivery (the beta) to dying, it’s unhappy to surprise about what might have been. Had it not been conceived as a dwell service recreation, and if the powers that be gave it a bit extra time within the oven, it might have been a cool stylized motion romp from Platinum. The crew might have moved on as a substitute of spending time creating post-launch seasonal content material (earlier than or after launch), and a standalone launch undoubtedly wouldn’t have scared off so many individuals from shopping for in.

Possibly The Suicide Squad recreation will meet the identical destiny? Keep tuned!
