Overview
- Frost Giant, which told players Tuesday on Discord, said its partner Hathora will wind down service at the end of April and trigger a planned outage for Stormgate’s online modes.
- Developers will release a patch to add offline play so the campaign and solo content still work, though multiplayer will be unavailable until a new operations partner is found.
- Hathora said it was acquired by Fireworks AI and listed May 5 as the end of support, while Frost Giant is preparing for loss of service by late April.
- Hathora named Nitrado’s GameFabric as its exclusive migration path with zero-downtime promises, but Frost Giant has not committed to move to that platform.
- Hathora previously powered servers for games like Splitgate 2 and Predecessor, raising the risk of wider outages as infrastructure firms shift resources to AI workloads.
