"Despite a promising start, Rogue Company will likely follow siblings Realm Royale and Divine Knockout into the sunset before the end of 2025."
Due to its robust Rogue Company and dedicated core community, Rogue Company remains somewhat active as we enter 2025.
Still, with no updates since early 2024 and near-total radio silence from its developers, without a comprehensive relaunch in the style of Realm Royale Reforged (which sadly did not manage to save Realm Royale), the Rogue Company community will continue to shrink, especially as cheaters go unpunished and long-term performance and server stability issues remain a problem despite the developer indicating they were monitoring the situation in April 2024.
Except for offering refunds due to the removal of Dr Disrespect cosmetics, the developers have not spoken since April 2024, and even then it was only a tweet that assured the community that they were looking into server instability issues.
With no updates in almost one year (Feb 2024) and server issues lasting months at a time, without a major injection of cash and development resources, Rogue Company has no future.
In all likelihood, it will be sunset before the end of 2025 or at least officially enter maintenance mode.
When you consider all of the above and the fact that Hi-Rez is in the process of closing both Realm Royale: Reforged and Divine Knockout as part of company-wide cost-cutting measures, I certainly would not feel comfortable spending my time or money on the Rogue Company, when its future is very much in question.
With that in mind, while I have always been a fan of Rogue Company, I can no longer recommend it, at least not until the publishers dedicate enough funding to ensure a successful relaunch and publicly commit to at least 18 months of post-relaunch updates to give Rogue Company a real shot of finding its feet again.
"Star Wars: Battlefront is one of the most clinical and uninspired AAA titles released in the past decade and the worst Star Wars game released since Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Republic Heroes (2009)"
"With Covid-19 and Vanguard's lacklustre reception putting an end to any hope of a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 remaster, playing the original 2011 release is the only way to experience the concluding chapter of the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Trilogy in 2023."
"Battlefield V, despite being over three years old, has a larger player base than many AAA titles released in 2022, something which is made all the more remarkable when you remember its controversial launch and less-than-stellar critical reception."
