There&#8217;s a chance that online play could be restored at some point in the future, but for now developer Frost Giant Studios says it will patch Stormgate so it can be played offline.<\/p>\n<p>Hathora announced in March that it had been <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hathora.dev\/hathora-is-joining-fireworks-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\">acquired by Fireworks AI<\/a>, and that its support for games like Stormgate would end on May 5. A partnership with GameFabric &#8220;to provide a clear migration path and hands-on support through the transition&#8221; was announced at the same time, but Stormgate apparently isn&#8217;t going to make that move.<\/p>\n<p>One possible reason is that Stormgate isn&#8217;t seeing much action these days. We were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rts\/i-played-stormgates-new-faction-with-two-of-the-worlds-top-rts-players-but-even-they-couldnt-save-me-from-my-own-ineptitude\/\">quite taken by the game<\/a> in its pre-release days, and there appeared to be a tremendous amount of support among long-suffering RTS fans too. A Kickstarter campaign drew <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/stormgate-kickstarter-funding\/\">nearly $2.8 million<\/a> from backers\u2014that&#8217;s on top of the $35 million in private funding Frost Giant had already secured from investors\u2014and a subsequent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/stormgate-developer-frost-giant-studios-is-now-asking-fans-to-invest-in-the-company\/\">investment opportunity<\/a> raised another $1.2 million.<\/p>\n<p>But the early access release stumbled, and the 1.0 release in 2025 didn&#8217;t turn things around, probably at least in part because some of the game&#8217;s core features, including the terrain editor and co-op mode, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/strategy\/stormgate-is-leaving-early-access-before-its-technically-finished-we-believe-that-our-campaign-and-1v1-are-ready-for-a-broader-audience\/\">were still in development<\/a>. User reviews <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2012510\/Stormgate\/\" target=\"_blank\">on Steam<\/a> are mixed, with less than 50% of them positive, and concurrent player numbers haven&#8217;t exceeded double digits since December 2025; the peak concurrent player count for the past 24 hours was just 28. For a free-to-play game, that&#8217;s not sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>So, the end of online support, as announced on the <a href=\"https:\/\/discord.gg\/stormgate\" target=\"_blank\">Stormgate Discord<\/a>:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1024px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:104.69%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"MAN4m3LDbn7mr8zRKavPxj\" name=\"stormgate\" alt=\"We have some unfortunate news.
