Aika Online Shutting Down on September 15, 2021 After Running for 10 Years

T3Fun announced last week that Aika Online, their PvP focused '1000 vs 1000' MMORPG will be shutting down on September 15, 2021. While the game was never popular enough to field 2,000+ players on a single battlefield, it's still sad to see yet another MMORPG shut down, especially one that's been running since 2010. Given that Aika was largely dead in the West for the last few years, there's little chance any other publisher will pick up the game, especially since the developer itself is shutting down the global English service.

The only saving grace here is that the game remains available in South Korea and still gets updated regularly over there. The few Western fans of Aika will be able to play over on the Korean service with a little bit of effort.
