Dead as a corpse made of death.
Following its disastrous launch earlier this year Crucible is dead. Amazon today published the final developer update for Crucible announcing that following extensive feedback evaluation with data collected and major thinking about how to proceed forward, the development team decided that the best course of action would be to burn it all to the ground.
That evaluation led us to a difficult decision: we’ll be discontinuing development on Crucible. We very much appreciate the way that our fans have rallied around our efforts, and we’ve loved seeing your responses to the changes we’ve made over the last few months, but ultimately we didn’t see a healthy, sustainable future ahead of Crucible. We’ll be transitioning our team to focus on New World and other upcoming projects from Amazon Games.
Those who bought founder’s packs or credits need to contact Amazon support or Steam support depending on which platform you bought them on for a full refund. Matchmaking will be disabled in the coming weeks however you will apparently be able to play through custom games feature. Matchmaking servers go down on November 9.
On that note, you can still play Destiny 2’s Crucible pvp mode (pictured above). That hasn’t been shut down. The Crucible beta had a 24 hour player peak of 72 as of this writing.
