Why is Crucible back in closed beta?

game developers have taken unusual step to throw game into closed beta and take it off Steam storefront, meaning that new users won’t be able to download or access game anymore. In a recent blog post, Crucible franchise lead Colin Johanson stated that company has w shifted its focus on offering best possible experience for ir user base and will continue to make video game better. This indicates that Crucible will w be reverting to its pre-release state which will allow developer more time and to implement much-needed changes to game before planning a more robust launch for title.

studio is also planning to work on new features more aggressively and also gain more feedback from existing users who have already downloaded game after its release and are still active. As such, users who have game installed on ir systems can continue playing Crucible during this beta phase, as company is only locking out new users.

One of biggest reasons behind game’s failure is that it wasn’t able to generate much positive traction since its official launch. Verge recently reported that Crucible features lackluster characters, combat, and art style has made video game largely forgettable. It addition, game is also believed to suffer from some identity crisis as it attempts to be a bit of everything at same time. One can w hope that Studio’s decision will actually help title closely evolve in line with players' feedback.
