Galactic Reign will disappear into the cloud

Galactic Reign is shutting down. According to a Microsoft representative posting in the official forums, space strategy game developed by Slant Six will be taken off the Windows 8 and Windows Phone stores on August 15th. The servers will be turned off and no gameplay will be possible after December 31st since the game depends on the servers to calculate and synchronize battles. The power of the Cloud!

The forums will remain available until the end of the year, so that players can still communicate and exchange contacts. We will also continue support the Facebook and Twitter channels from now until server closure.

We are proud of the game we created and are thankful to our passionate community. We hope you have gotten many hours of enjoyment out Galactic Reign and will continue to do so until the end of this year.

Developer Slant Six appears to have closed down as well, but there has been no official confirmation. Slant Six has been incommunicado since their “temporary” layoffs in April.
