Sony has updated the North American PlayStation Store listings for three games, revealing they will be going offline in the region on October 25, 2018. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Twisted Metal, and Warhawk will no longer offer online features on that day. This pertains to both the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita versions of PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
Here is the shutdown notice for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
Online features for PlayStation All-Stars (PS3, PS Vita) will no longer be playable from October 25, 2018. Functionality will be affected in the following ways:
o You can play the campaign offline as well as local (couch) multiplayer in shared screen mode.
o You will not be able to host or join an online game.
Here is the shutdown notice for Twisted Metal.
Online features for Twisted Metal (PS3) will no longer be playable from October 25, 2018. Functionality will be affected in the following ways:
o You can play the campaign offline as well as local (couch) multiplayer in split screen mode.
o You will not be able to host or join an online game.
Here is the shutdown notice for Warhawk.
Online servers for Warhawk (PS3) will be shut down on October 25, 2018 at 12:00 AM PT. As Warhawk was an online-only title, this shutdown means that the game will no longer be playable unless the PS3 system is set to LAN mode, as only local network play will function.
Currently, the European PlayStation Store listings for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Twisted Metal, and Warhawk do not have any notices about server shutdowns on them.
Of the three games, Warhawk was the oldest. It launched on the PlayStation 3 in 2007. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and Twisted Metal both were released in 2012.
