Delisting
Roll7 and 505 Games updated the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One store pages for Laser League around December of 2021. Appended to each page was a new announcement that online services and multiplayer on both platforms would end on February 28th, 2022. The games were removed from both stores alongside the termination of online services.
On Steam, Laser League transitioned from publisher 505 Games to CE-Asia in June of 2021. It was retooled as the free-to-play Laser League: World Arena and scheduled for release on December 8th. It seems CE-Asia wasn’t interested in maintaining or relaunching the console versions of Laser League, likely due to low active player counts. On April 4th, 2023 CE-Asia announced that the remaining Steam version of the game would be shut down on July 6th with in-game purchases disabled alongside the announcement.
It is with regrettable that we must announce the impending shutdown of our game servers. Effective since [July 6, 2023], as a free to play game, Laser League: World Arena will no longer be available for log in and play.
We know that many of you have invested countless hours into this game, and we want to express our sincere appreciation for your support and dedication. We are proud of what we accomplished with this game, and we are grateful for the memories we’ve shared with you all.
Unfortunately, the decision to shut down the servers was not an easy one to make. As a team, we have explored every possible avenue to keep the game running, but ultimately, we have determined that we can no longer sustain the costs associated with maintaining the servers.
We understand that this news will come as a disappointment to many of you, and we apologize for any inconvenience or frustration this may cause. We hope that you will continue to support our team and our future endeavors, and we look forward to bringing you new and exciting experiences in the future.
Thank you for your understanding and your passion for Laser League.
Virtual currency recharge service has been closed today, please get all your in-game virtual items or currency consumed before servers shutdown.
Sincerely,
Steam Announcement – April 04, 2023
