Highguard will "permanently shut down" next week after "one final game update," dev confirms: "We have not been able to build a sustainable player base"

"Servers will remain online until March 12th"

They’ll release one more update (my guess is whatever release-ready content they’ve already got), then the servers will shut down next Thursday.

“We don’t need player counts to be super huge in order to be successful” is starting to ring hollow.

    To be honest at this point toppling Embark Studios is pretty tough in my book. The games they make have the same feeling of passion that Bungie used to have. Great gun play, fantastic audio design and interesting ideas. I really hope for the best for Marathon, if for no other reason than competition drives creativity, but Bungie has had the soul sucked out of them unfortunately.
