After this date, you will still be able to play the game offline. We regret to share that the online server for White Knight Chronicles II for PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system on Jin North America will shut down. D3P did announce the closure with some humility: Now the games will be solo only.ĮA are notorious for shutting down servers, but this latest dark day for White Knight suggests that a lot of online co-op games from this generation may soon be unplayable. The first game allowed for up to 4 players to play co-op online, whilst the sequel upped the ante to a fulsome 6 players. Rather than going online and giving the news a thumbs up, think about what it means for the co-op gamer. The announcements for both games were made yesterday over on the Sony forums and on the White Knight's Facebook page. These games will no longer be co-op as of June 18th 2013. The latest victims to fall foul of this are White Knight Chronicles and White Knight Chronicles 2. Rather than getting the science fiction future I was promised of hoverboards and silver clothing, I instead get a world where games I bought are no longer playable online as servers are switched off. I don't know if you have noticed yet, but it is 2013.
