Delisting

Swords & Soldiers’ availability on PlayStation 3 was first brought into question on December 28th, 2014. In detailing the differences between the multiple versions of the game, NeoGAF user, Hero of Legend, posited that the PlayStation 3 release had been delisted. They also linked to the free demo available on the game’s PlayStation Store page but it has since been removed.

If the game was delisted in late 2014 it puts it very close to the sale of Sony Online Entertainment which was announced in February of 2015. After the announcement several titles were quickly delisted and it is possible many others were shut down in the preceding year as the terms of the sale were being finalized.

At the latest, the Nintendo Wii version of the game would have been delisted in January of 2019 when Nintendo shut down the Nintendo Wii Shop channel. The Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions would later be delisted on March 27, 2023 when the Nintendo eShop shut down on both systems.
