10 Popular Video Games You Can't Play Anymore
8. Warhawk
Developed by Incognito Entertainment and assisted in development by a little studio you may have heard of called Santa Monica, Warhawk was a multiplayer shooter for PS3 that came out in 2007.
As these things go, server issues dampened the critical and player response during its initial launch window but eventually once those were ironed out, a clever multiplayer experience with expert balancing, exciting flight mechanics, and frenetic involved combat scenarios emerged. The game received almost universally positive reviews and drew in an unsurprisingly large number of players. Despite its dedicated fanbase, it was decided that the servers would be shut down in January of 2019.
While that’s an entirely respectable innings for an online game, understandably hardcore fans were still disappointed.
Since then, some have opted to meddle with emulators and programs that convert LAN support into online support to crack back into Warhawk, and according to the game’s subreddit a little community of diehards are still dropping into matches today.
