Freejam studio closing with Robocraft and Robocraft 2 shutting down

End of an era for another game studio, as Freejam - developers of Robocraft and the in-development Robocraft 2 - are closing and so both games will also be shut down.

Robocraft is a online PvP battle arena where you customize vehicles and build them block-by-block. It was quite popular when it originally released but over the years the players numbers saw a steady decline. Since mid-2020 it saw less than 1,000 concurrent players max each day and only continued to lose players.

The announcement was shared in their Discord, here's what they said:

It’s with a heavy heart that we have to tell you all that we’re ceasing production on Robocraft 2 and closing Freejam as a studio. With the current market conditions and the server costs required to keep a game like RC2 running, we’re simply unable to launch or sustain development. We will spend some time sunsetting both Robocraft 1 and 2, as well as Cardlife over the coming weeks.

Freejam has been a family to all of us, and you have been part of that. Your feedback and thoughts have always driven us forward, but beyond this, the community’s passion is a massive part of what has made working at Freejam such a pleasure.

We especially want to recognise all of the Admins and Moderators who have helped us over the years, ensuring that the community and the game is a welcome place for everyone. Your time, energy, support and so, so much patience has made a world of difference.

From all of us at Freejam, thank you so much for joining us on this journey.
