The Tomorrow Children by Q-Games won't be around for much longer. Publisher Sony and game director Dylan Cuthbert have announced the game will have its online services cut completely on November 1, just over a year after the title's launch.
Cuthbert took to Twitter to share the news.
It was a fun and very different game to the usual fare but The Tomorrow Children will be closing in November, your last chance to play EVER!
In subsequent tweets with fans, Cuthbert explained The Tomorrow Children's closure is for a number of reasons, most notably the amount of work it takes to run an MMO, updating content, and attracting new players.
The Tomorrow Children is a unique and peculiar blend of Minecraft meets Marxism. You're thrust into a world where an experiment has wiped out all of humanity, and all that exists is the void. You're one of many projections who have to rebuild and save the people lost in this experiment. Together, with other players you cannot interact with, you'll collect resources to build different cities scattered about.
Updates to the title's PlayStation store page state that the game's major DLC transactions will cease after August 31, but you'll be able to continue using the game's black market micro-transactions until the end of service. All remaining freeman dollars that are on your account when service ends will not be able to be used or refunded, so make sure to use them up while you can.

The voice cast for this year's Lord of the Rings game Middle-earth: Shadow of War has been revealed, and it includes some big names.
Prolific voice actor Troy Baker returns as Talion, while Westworld's Alastair Duncan is also coming back in his role as Celebrimbor. Laura Bailey (Injustice 2, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End) plays the "elite assassin," Eltariel. Additionally, Kumail Ninjiani (Silicon Valley, Mass Effect: Andromeda) and Pollyanna McIntosh (The Walking Dead) have parts in Shadow of War. Another thing to note is that Baker is the game's Performance Capture Director, in addition to his starring role as Talion.
In addition to announcing the voice cast, Warner Bros. revealed it will host a panel at San Diego Comic-Con later this month where some of the voice actors will appear to discuss their roles. Additionally, creative director Michel de Plater will be there to show off "never-before-seen content" from Shadow of War.
The panel takes place Friday, July 21, starting at 2 PM and running for an hour.
Luke Borrett, producer for co-developing studio Mediatonic, announced on the Fable Fortune blog that the minor delay is due to an administration error.
"Due to an unexpected administration hiccup we are unfortunately unable to launch the Xbox One version of Fable Fortune next week and we've made the decision to move the launch date back to July 25th on all platforms," the statement reads. "This is to make sure Fable Fortune releases on PC and Xbox simultaneously, so we can make the most of cross-play between the platforms."
But the good news is that the closed beta is still going strong. For those of you who haven't quite gotten a chance to get your hands on it yet, the development team will release more keys over the next few weeks.
Fable Fortune's develoment is the partnership of former Lionhead developers, who formed Flaming Fowl when the studio was shut down in 2016, and Mediatonic. But Flaming Fowl isn't the only independent game studio to come out of the shuttered developer; PixelCount rose from the same ashes that Flaming Fowl did, and went on to kickstart Stardew Valley-esque Kynseed.
A dataminer has discovered a plethora of new items for PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds hidden within its files, and their findings are almost as peculiar as the battle royale game.
Fifty-four items ranging from new avatar garbs to weapons were uncovered by dataminer DevinWatson on Reddit. Some of the items are already available in game, like the hooded trenchcoat, but others are catching our eyes. Most notable, the poison apple, which is filed under grenades, and a futuristic spacesuit. But that's not all we're looking forward to. There are also some sweet leather jackets and shorts to suit every avatar's summer look.
It should be noted, however, that none of these items are confirmed to be part of the game and might just be placeholders. We do know that PUBG is expecting some updates in the very near future to add player-controlled zombies, but we don't know if these items will be released in tandem.
PUBG's full release was scheduled to come out of early access this October, but was recently pushed back. PlayerUnknown, aka Brendan Greene, says that the game is still planned for a full launch on PC by the end of Q4 2017.
