Night Street Games, a studio founded by Imagine Dragons’ lead singer, Dan Reynolds, and his brother, recently put out a statement about the future of its underperforming multiplayer shooter Last Flag. While most announcements of this ilk spell the end of the game in question — think Highguard — Last Flag’s future is going to be more community-focused.
Last Flag launched on April 14, but subsequently made headlines for its low concurrent player count, which still hasn’t rebounded. In a Steam post, Night Street Games admits that “our player count is not currently where we need it to be to support additional development beyond our upcoming planned patches,” confirming that Last Flag is underperforming its expectations.
This was not a “going offline” announcement, though, as the studio stated that it is “shifting our focus to make sure those updates give tons of value and control to our players so the game can continue to thrive and grow.” The post goes on to explain that a new character, a new map, a new game mode, leaderboards, and new cosmetics will come to Last Flag over the next few months, but those aren’t the most important additions.
