Spectre Divide and studio behind it shut down
Spectre Divide has been in the spotlight since it was revealed that the well-known streamer and former esports professional, Shroud, played a key role in its development. However, a big name doesn't always guarantee success. Today, Mountaintop Studios announced its closure and the impending shutdown of the game's servers.
The studio will officially cease operations by the end of this week, while the servers will remain active for just under a month. During this period, Mountaintop Studios will issue refunds to players for their in-game purchases. The game struggled to build a substantial player base and generate sufficient revenue to sustain operations.

It's easy to feel disheartened by another failed project, but this situation underscores the challenges of entering the competitive live-service gaming market. Let's face it—Spectre Divide did not offer anything particularly innovative or revolutionary to draw in a large audience. Even Shroud's fame and esports experience were insufficient to drive success. The truth is, there exists a significant divide between elite players and casual gamers, each with their own distinct expectations and needs.
Ultimately, another esports-inspired project has faltered in the realm of game development. Press F to pay respects.
