5/8/2023 0 Comments Nexuiz xbox 360![]() ![]() ![]() Upon attempting to run the game, XBLAFans was met with the following ominous message confirming IllFonic’s statement: “The Nexuiz service is not available. Since the PC servers are different and can be controlled 100% by IllFonic, they will remain online and functional. “It was fun while it lasted on there and we are glad you guys enjoyed the game! Unfortunately, the Xbox Servers were controlled by THQ and in the current state, cannot be maintained anymore. “As some of you know, the Xbox Servers are now offline,” reads IllFonic’s Facebook post. IllFonic, the game’s developer, explained on Facebook yesterday that there is no one to maintain the servers now that THQ is defunct. Original Story: Due to the much-publicized bankruptcy of publisher THQ, the servers for XBLA shooter Nexuiz have been shut down. However, if a new publisher or owner of the licensed IP wants to turn the XBLA lights back on…we certainly wouldn’t be against it.” Whatever happens, we will do whatever it takes to make sure our PC players can continue to enjoy the game. We don’t know what to expect in the event someone does purchases the license. “However, we are a developer that believes in working with partners…even if it comes through a unseen circumstance like this. Gonzalez reiterated the point made in yesterday’s Facebook post on the matter, ensuring PC players that the version of Nexuiz on their platform of choice will remain online since it is hosted on completely different servers than those hosting the XBLA version.īut with THQ planning to sell off Nexuiz as part of a lot of game properties to the highest bidder in April, what will become of IllFonic and its shooter? “ Nexuiz will remain in the control of IllFonic even if a new publisher wins the bid of Lot 6 Licensed IPs,” said Gonzalez. This situation has been really sad for us at IllFonic and wish there was something more we could do.” We are very happy THQ tried to keep things running for as long as they could. Unfortunately, the costs are just too high for THQ or IllFonic to carry. ![]() “However, THQ tried to get them back up for a while longer to keep the game alive. He informed XBLAFans that the game was de-listed after its servers were taken down. Gonzalez explained that that too, as we suspected, was a result of THQ’s bankruptcy filing. “However, the cost to do this is too much for IllFonic in our current state.”Īs noted in our original story, the game disappeared from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace earlier this month only to reappear a short time after. “We certainly could pay for the servers to be up and running on XBLA outside of THQ,” he said. When asked if it was possible for the developer to take control of the servers now that THQ, the current server manager, is no longer around to foot the bill, Gonzalez explained to us via email that IllFonic does not possess the funding to do so. Update: Following our report this morning on developer IllFonic’s XBLA shooter Nexuiz having its servers shut down XBLAFans was able to get in contact with IllFonic Creative Director Kedhrin Gonzalez about the unfortunate situation resulting from publisher THQ’s bankruptcy. ![]()
