Michael McWhertor is a journalist with more than 17 years of experience covering video games, technology, movies, TV, and entertainment.The studio behind Spec Ops: The Line and Dreadnought will officially release its next game, first-person shooter The Cycle: Frontier, in June, after nearly three years of early access testing on PC. On Wednesday, developer Yager confirmed a June 22 release date for The Cycle: Frontier, with a pre-season launch arriving on June 8.The Cycle: Frontier will be available through the Epic Games Store and Steam, where it is currently the most wishlisted free-to-play game.The Cycle: Frontier is described by its creators as a “PvPvE extraction shooter.” Players venture to the alien planet Fortuna 3 as prospectors, where they can loot treasure and resources, but also face threats like deadly indigenous creatures, radioactive storms (the titular Cycle), and other players who are also on the hunt for loot.Yager said in an update on Steam that The Cycle: Frontier’s June 22 launch will see the return of the game’s Fortuna Pass, a series of challenges that offers commensurate rewards, and “a brand new PvE dungeon full of loot and nasty creatures.” The Cycle: Frontier has been in pre-release, with multiple playable betas, since August 2019.The Cycle: Frontier was originally announced as, simply, The Cycle. Alongside Yager’s launch of a closed beta test in September 2021, the studio re-announced the project under its current name, The Cycle: Frontier.

Posted June 28, 2023, 2:03 p.m. Free-to-play extraction shooter The Cycle: Frontier shuts down in September, developer Yager has announced.Yager, developer of Spec Ops: The Line and Dreadnought, set the shutdown for September 27, 2023, calling the decision “very difficult” but “necessary”. Real money purchases are now disabled. Any purchases made from June 13 will be refunded.The Cycle: Frontier is described as a “competitive quest shooter”, with player versus environment versus player combat. It launched in early access form in 2019, before launching proper last year.“We are incredibly grateful for all your support during this wonderful journey, we couldn’t have done it without you!” Yager said in a tweet. “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.”Expanding on the decision in a blog post, Yager said The Cycle: Frontier was not “financially viable”.“Despite our best efforts and meaningful improvements brought to the game since launch and up until the release of Season 3, the reality is that The Cycle: Frontier is unfortunately not financially viable,” the developer said in a statement.So what went wrong? Yager said The Cycle: Frontier started strong, but soon faced “many challenges”, the “most crucial” being the increasing number of cheaters shortly after the game went live.“Although we had tools and measurements in place, we quickly realized we needed to improve our anti-cheat efforts to be able to ensure a fair game experience for all players,” Yager explained. “By the time we got additional partners onboard for our anti-cheat efforts and could focus again on gameplay and performance improvements for The Cycle: Frontier, many of you had already been affected and as a result we saw a significant decrease in our player base.”Following this, Season 2 failed to generate enough attention to kickstart the game again. In response, Yager took steps to make The Cycle: Frontier more approachable, which sparked a modest increase in players alongside the launch of Season 3 in March, but, as Yager admits, “it was still not enough to make The Cycle: Frontier financially viable.”The Cycle: Frontier will be unplayable from September 27, Yager confirmed. The developer said it “strongly considered” making the game available to everyone so it could be played offline, possibly on private servers, but decided this wasn’t feasible.“The Cycle: Frontier is a server-based game with a dedicated backend system, which doesn’t allow keeping the game somewhat available after being shut down,” Yager said.Yager said it will now shift focus to new projects, although it has yet to announce any new games in development. Yager's free-to-play spaceship combat game Dreadnought remains available to play.Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN. Find him on Twitter at @wyp100.
