So this is a game as a service? and apparently it’s pretty bad..

how many dead on arrival service games square enix are going to release before they get the message

This is getting absolutely ripped apart review scores wise. Just brutal.

The summary seems to be muddy graphics, clunky combat, and at full price, totally not recommended for a service online only game with micro sales.
An 80/100 review says they hate the game one moment, but like it the next.
The rest of the reviews are 60/100 and below it seems.

I wouldn't bother with an online only game, but it's interesting to see how this didn't fare too well. Gamer scores are really low too, but I can see many haven't even played the game and are rating it.

Square Enix probably had a 3rd party ask them to distribute this game, so no big loss if they didn't fund the production of it.

I think this is the first non-Nintendo console game developed by Platinum Games to be released in quite a while (5 years since Nier), and suffice it to say, it hasn't been going too well, it seems.

I can't believe a game which has managed 4 active players worldwide over the past month would get shut down, who could have foreseen this

Thanks for the news. The game seems to be living up to the title, "Babylon's Fall", as the apparently required to play solo mode servers are falling apart. Released March 3, 2022, being deactivated February 28, 2023. So not quite one year for Square Enix's new online action game.

Platinum games developed Babylon's Fall, creators of Bayonetta, and Nier.

Oh well

If the game disc is still being sold after the servers are gone, then the disc is a good frisbee to toss around, since the game probably won't work aside from the title screen without any servers. They should patch in an offline mode for these situations.
