The game was also delisted on PlayStation 4 around the same time. The team’s announcement follows:

Nostos Development Team
Development of Nostos seemed to trail off in 2020, leaving the game with less content than initially promised as well as several performance issues. The PlayStation 4 release looked to be in an even more unfinished state throughout its release. Both versions reportedly had very few active players at any time.
About the Game
Nostos, developed by NetEase, is a PC and VR cross-platform multiplayer survival game with an open-world where elements of Oriental animated films are incorporated. The simulation technology of real physical environment, giant and seamless world map, freely moving system and oriental animated film art style build up a “Pioneer” image for this game.
Players will play the role of an explorer in Nostos to adventure, combat, build up and save the world with their partners. A variety of terrains, miraculous ecological communities, and meteorological system, special doomsday costumes, as well as realistic combat experience will offer players extraordinary immersive gaming experiences.
