#Frontier har plockat bort #Elite Dangerous: Arena, den nedbantade pvp-varianten som lanserades i februari förra året. Skälet är enkelt: folk spelar den inte.
Spelarna väljer istället att köra innehållet från vanliga #Elite Dangerous, och det gör att Arena försvinner från Steam, Xbox-butiken och Frontiers egen spelshop, skriver utvecklarna. Men det är alltså fortfarande spelbart från huvudspelet. De som äger Arena kommer fortsatt kunna spela.
We’ve been looking at our metrics which suggest that the vast majority of new and regular Arena players tend to play Arena through the main Elite Dangerous client rather than the standalone Arena one. We’ve made the decision to remove the standalone version of Elite Dangerous: Arena in order to reduce the number of builds that have to be maintained and managed across Steam, Xbox One and in 2Q'17 PlayStation Network, as well as clarifying the choices for new players of Elite Dangerous on these storefronts.
Elite Dangerous: Arena continues to be available and supported as part of the wider Elite Dangerous game. Existing and new players that join the Elite Dangerous galaxy will continue to be able to enjoy the fast-paced action of Arena through the main menu. Existing Elite Dangerous: Arena client owners will still be able to enjoy Arena as they have always done.
