Tencent is ditching free-to-play shooter Synced after one year
Tencent is scrapping its free-to-play multiplayer shooter Synced a year after it launched (thanks MassivelyOP).
The PvE and PvP title debuted on September 8, 2023, but will be shuttered on September 9, 2024. Developer Next Studios, which is owned by Chinese conglomerate Tencent, broke the news on Steam but didn't explain why the project is being torched.
"Thanks so much for playing Synced and being a valued member of its community, but we regret to inform you that the game will be retired this September," reads the update. "You will still be able to enjoy the game and use any existing in-game items until the Termination Date."
Synced is published by Level Infinite, also owned by Tencent. Game Developer has reached out to the company to learn more about the delisting.
