Bleeding Edge was bleeding before his first birthday -apkrig
Last March, Studio Ninja Theory released the multiplayer action Bleeding Edge under the wings of Microsoft, which was officially introduced at E3 2019. And shortly before, it escaped through the Slovak website Xboxer. Its authors now announcedthat just 10 months after the release they stop working on other content.
The studio wants to focus on new projects such as Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II, Project Mara and The Insight Project. The game remains functional on both Xbox and PC, but will not see any further extensions and updates. The developers thanked the fans on this occasion, but the question arises as to whether Microsoft could not afford to support the online game for a little longer, even if it did not make a big hole in the world.
With the studio now focusing on our new projects (Senua’s Saga, Project Mara & The Insight Project) we have decided that there will be no further content updates for Bleeding Edge. The game is still playable on Xbox and PC. Thank you to the fans & keep teaming up & causing chaos!

In Bleeding Edge, the players competed in 4 to 4 matches. The game relied on a strong stylization and had at least visually interesting characters. Unfortunately, the title struggled with the lack of interest of the players from the beginning. The performance did not arouse much response and subsequently the game became one of the inconspicuous ones. The average rating in reviews was around 60 percent.
We don’t know the statistics of the xbox version, but the unofficial ones from Steam are disturbing. According to Steam Charts, Bleeding Edge was played by an average of just 479 people in March when the game was released. The maximum was only 828 players. Since then, the numbers have continued to fall. According to Steam Charts, an average of 4 people have played at the same time in the last 30 days and the maximum was only 11. Of course, other fans had a title outside of Steam and on the Xbox, but they are still formidable numbers.
Although the updates are officially ending now, their release has also been limited. The last big one with a hero named Azrael came out last July. Despite this, 70 percent of Steam users rated Bleeding Edge positively.
