It's unlikely to ever be revived, but maybe GA's clandestine return to Steam is a sign that Hi-Rez hasn't totally given up on the franchise. Servers were shut down in 2018.Ī sequel, Global Agenda 2, was announced but faded into nothingness over half a decade ago. It struggled to find an audience, with Hi-Rez CEO Erez Goren saying on Reddit that the game "lost a lot of money" and that "no matter how much work we did the user base kept declining." It and Tribes: Ascend cost Hi-Rez $40 million in development costs, while delivering only $10 million in revenue. Originally launched as a paid game with a subscription in February 2010, Global Agenda went F2P all the way back in April 2011, branding itself as Global Agenda: Free Agent. Judging by its player count, it's been on Steam since late January, though Hi-Rez has made no effort to publicize its resurrection the game is even unlisted, so it won't show up in search results. It was the first online multiplayer game from Hi-Rez Studios - which, yes, did make games before Smite. More surprising than Fallen Earth's revival is the return of Global Agenda on Steam. Still, if you want to check the game out, it's now officially re-launched on Steam.
That said, the game has sported a steady audience of double- to low-triple-digit players since that October announcement, so we're not entirely sure just how much has changed over the past 24 hours. It looks like those efforts were successful, as the Fallen Earth Twitter account announced yesterday that it had "re-enabled Fallen Earth on Steam for players to download." In October, we learned that Little Orbit was planning to bring back post-apocalyptic MMO Fallen Earth as a totally free-to-play game.
A pair of older MMOs have made their way back to Steam after some time away - from everyone, as the games in question were totally offline and unavailable until recently.
