EA will soon close down several online servers for some of its past games, includingDead Space 2, Crysis 3andDantes Inferno.
This shouldn’t come as a surprise, givenEA’shistory of closing down servers, with the most notable examples being multipleBattlefieldgames which will soon lose multiplayer modes later this year.Battlefield 1943, Battlefield: Bad Company, andBattlefield: Bad Company 2are all on the chopping block later this year, and what a devastating loss they’ll be.
Speaking of video game multiplayer, did you catch the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III announcement? Take a look below

The first server getting killed off will beCrysis 3, which will see its end on the 7th of September. Next will beDead Space 2andDante’s Inferno, which will both face termination on the same day, the 8th of December.
Out of all three titles, the saddest to see go will undoubtedly beDead Space 2. While the Dead Space games are recognised for their single-player offering, the multiplayer forDead Space 2was a lot of fun. It saw teams of four go head-to-head as humans or necromorphs, completing or defending a series of objectives in a fight for survival.
While it’ll be sad to see the multiplayer go, there’s always the chance it returns with a fresh coat of paint in aDead Space 2remake.

Another honourable mention has to go toCrysis 3’sonline modes, a classic FPS that included team deathmatch/objective-based gameplay. The remastered version of the game failed to include the multiplayer, so when the servers go offline in December, it’ll be gone for good.
Nothing lasts forever, and at least we’ll have plenty of memories to cherish when the servers are long gone. That being said, you’ve still got a few weeks to hop back on if you’ve never played them before, or just want to relive some of the days before the end.
