Development ended on Flowering edge, less than a year after the multiplayer fighter was launched on Windows PC and Xbox One.
Developer Ninja Theory announced the end on Thursday and pointed it out Flowering edge stay active and playable. It never attracted much from the audience. SteamCharts averaged 480 computer games in the launch month of March 2020 and has been declining ever since.
Since the studio is now focusing on our new projects (Senua’s Saga, Project Mara & The Insight Project), we decided that there would be no further content updates for Bleeding Edge. The game can still be played on Xbox and PC. Thank you so much to the fans and keep working together and cause chaos!
