FULL STORY
======================================================================

Time is almost up, folks - the days of online multiplayer in Crysis 3 are 
nearly over. As was confirmed last month , EA will be shutting down the 
servers for the 2013 first-person shooter for good this week. 

To be exact, Crysis 3 s servers will close on Thursday, September 7, which 
means there are just a few more days to experience the games multiplayer for 
the last time. With the game being over 10 years old, its not an enormous 
shock that this would happen at some point, but it is still a rather sad 
reminder that online modes in video games will probably never last forever. 
That, and its also a bit disconcerting that 2013 was an entire decade ago. 

Unfortunately, Crysis 3 is just one game that will soon be saying goodbye to 
its online multiplayer. It was also previously announced that the servers for 
Dead Space 2, Mirrors Edge Catalyst, and Dantes Inferno will all shut down on 
December 8, so while theres still over three months of life left in those, 
the clock is ticking. 

In a statement available to read on its Online Service Shutdown page, EA 
asserts that it is committed to constantly updating and improving the 
features and modes to keep in our games to ensure they remain exciting to 
play for as long as possible, but that sometimes means that we need to remove 
outdated features and modes. 

Despite the server shutdown, Crysis 3 's single-player campaign will remain 
completely playable. However, its worth noting that the FPS will be leaving 
EA Play and EA Play Pro in (at the time of writing) four days, so itll no 
longer be accessible via the membership.
