Between this Reddit post and an official statement given to IGN, we learn that Sony Online Entertainment has plans to shut down operations on four different MMORPGs: Wizardry Online, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, and Free Realms. Free Realms and Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures will be shut down on or around March 31st, while Vanguard: Saga of Heroes and Wizardry Online will be sunsetted on or around July 31st. Word is:
At Sony Online Entertainment, we are always evaluating our portfolio to ensure we're providing players with the best gameplay experiences. At times, as part of this commitment, we have to make the difficult decision to sunset a game so we can refocus our resources on other areas in the best interest of our company and player community.
With that said, it is with a heavy heart that we announce our decision to discontinue development on Free Realms, Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, Vanguard: Saga of Heroes and Wizardry Online. Although these closures will occur later this year, in the spirit of full transparency, we are announcing this now so our players have time to adjust to the news and make plans to enjoy the time remaining in these games.
