- Loadout shutting down this month ahead of GDPR - 9 May 2018
The European Union’s impending General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) can carve another notch into the barrel of its pen, as the makers of Loadout have cited the GDPR as one of the reasons they plan to shut down the free-to-play arena shooter. Several problems squeezing at once meant it’d be too expensive to rework a game that was already losing money and so, similar to Super Monday Night Combat , it’ll shut down this month. Loadout had entered early access in May 2013, then launched in January 2014. And was pretty good, Old Man Rossignol said in his Loadout review . (more…)
- Free-to-play shooter Loadout will shut its servers later this month - 8 May 2018
Released in 2014, Loadout is a free-to-play competitive shooter with a focus on ridiculous weaponry. Our reviewer loved it upon release, writing that its "gun customization and well executed twists on shooter staples make it a free-to-play game that doesn't feel like a compromise". But it won't be around much longer. A spokesperson for studio Edge of Reality announced today that Loadout will go permanently offline on May 24. The reason? New European Union privacy regulations set to become enforceable on May 25 would require a fair bit of work done on the game in order to be compliant. The studio can't afford it. "The well-intended GDPR legislation creates major burdens for small companies to do business in the EU," the announcement post reads . "We don't have the resources to update Loadout to GDPR compliance, and a big portion of Loadout players come from the EU.&#x…
- Loadout End of Service 5/24/2018 :( - 7 May 2018
I'm very sad to announce that Loadout's end of service will be on 5/24/2018. Thanks to everyone who made Loadout possible! The Loadout Community I hear from fans who passionately love Loadout every day. It started when we began closed beta in back in 2012, and it never stopped. Over 9 million people have played Loadout since then! There was never any question that Loadout was special. I'm deeply grateful to all you players who contributed your time, energy, creativity, and feedback. You're the main reason I wish Loadout could live on. Maybe someday Loadout will return, but for now, it will go offline on 5/24/2018. The Loadout Team An incredible amount of talent, passion, and hard work went into Loadout. I'm still awed by your work! This includes everyone at Edge of Reality. Practically everyone at EOR contributed to Loadout in one way or another, whether directly or indirectly, and ever…

Loadout is being removed from the Steam store in Asian territories because it has been licensed to another publisher and developer for Asia.

This has no effect on non-Asian territories.

- Update 4.0 – Private Matches! - 6 June 2014
Update 4.0 is a go and the goods are here for the share'n! You asked, therefore you shall receive...the option to pummel your best-friend's-neighbor in a Loadout private match! Private matches can be played with anywhere from two to eight players to create the "throwdown of the century". Don't have any friends? No worries, the bots are more than happy to snipe you across the map! This also provides ample opportunity for the "competitive" folks in these here parts to duke it out in your own environment. Also in the update is the new map, Comm Tower. This vertical map is effectively spaced to give you the best of full-throttle close-quarters action while still providing those pivotal sniping lanes for the marksmen at heart. But that's not all; we added updates to the matchmaking algorithm, new character parts, multiple bug fixes and map rebalancing. So get out there and tell us what you t…
