En Masse and AVA associate producer Halrath announced the sunsetting of their online multiplayer team shooter Alliance of Valiant Arms. Not two years old, here in the west, the AVA servers will shut down June 29th at 3:00 p.m. PDT.
What’s Next
- Effective immediately account creation is disabled as is all Steam DLC.
- The “Buy EMP” button is disabled in the game although you can still purchase it for other games and it will show in your launcher and account. Spending EMP won’t be necessary because all prices in the cash shop have been reduced to €1.
- Every Wednesday, from May 2 until June 27, log in to receive three free temporary weapons each week to use in gameplay.
- All players who logged into AVA from February 25th until April 25th will receive a one-time gift of 1000 EMP immediately after the service shuts down.
- The final update “The Honorably Discharged” will release at 2:00 p.m. on May 9th.
- On June 29th there will be a farewell event. Everyone is invited with more details to come.
We’ll leave you with a quote from associate producer Halthrath and best wishes to the team and community in their new endeavors and games.
We value our relationship with you, our community, and hope you will remain with us at En Masse Entertainment. It has been a privilege to serve you, and work with the very dedicated Ops members. We will try to make AVA’s final weeks fun and memorable!
I, for one, will not forget the AVA community nor the experiences I’ve had with you in-game. Thank you very much!
–Halrath
