EA has announced the next wave of games set to lose their servers.
As noted on EA's Online Services Shutdown support page (spotted by PureXbox), the publisher plans to close the servers for Crysis 3, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space 2 before the year's end. Crysis 3 will shut down its servers on September 7, while Dante's Inferno and Dead Space 2's servers close on December 8.
EA released a remaster of Crysis 3 back in 2021, along with Crysis and Crysis 2. Unfortunately, each game in the Crysis remastered trilogy is single-player only with no online multiplayer component. Though Crytek did announce back in 2022 that it was working on Crysis 4, news on the next installment in this otherwise dormant franchise has been seldom.
These are the latest three games EA is shuttering server support for in 2023, as earlier this year, the company announced it was closing the servers for Kingdoms of Amalur, Shadows of the Damned, Syndicate, and Warp. While last October, EA announced it was shutting down a handful of servers for some of its older titles, the most notable of which was 2008's much-loved Mirror's Edge.
