Quantic Dream’s Spellcasters Chronicles Will Shut Down Next Month
Quantic Dream has announced the shutdown of its multiplayer game Spellcasters Chronicles, which launched in February 2026. The decision comes as the game failed to attract a sufficient player base to sustain its development. Players can continue to access the game until June 19, and refunds will be available for purchases made during its lifecycle.
