Stormgate Loses Multiplayer Modes After Hathora Sale
Frost Giant Studios announced on April 1, 2026 that Stormgate will lose its online multiplayer modes after its server partner Hathora was acquired by AI firm Fireworks AI, which is winding down Hathora's hosting by the end of April. Frost Giant will patch the game for offline play and is seeking a replacement orchestration partner; Splitgate 2 and Predecessor also used Hathora services.
Scoring Rationale
Official studio announcement and multiple reports make this credible and timely; impact is significant for multiplayer game operations but limited in scope to the gaming vertical and lacks broader technical novelty, so the score reflects moderate novelty, actionable implications for developers, and strong credibility.
