The Midnight Walkers, developed by Oneway Ticket Studio, has fully transitioned to a PvE and P2P model.

On the 16th, Director Ray, who oversaw the development of The Midnight Walkers, announced via a Steam post that the game's live service would be ending. He candidly shared that after reviewing the game's long-term sustainability, the team had reached a point where continuing operations was no longer realistic.

At the same time, he added, "We do not want the game to irresponsibly disappear from our players' libraries." He explained that the game would be transitioned to a P2P connection model, allowing it to remain playable without requiring a connection to Oneway Ticket Studio servers, and that the PvE gameplay structure would be preserved.

P2P, short for Peer-to-Peer, refers to a method where a user operates their own computer as the main server. In this setup, a main host exists, and other users join that host to play the game. Previously, The Midnight Walkers used a dedicated server model that required connecting to Oneway Ticket Studio's servers. With the transition to P2P, users who own the game can enjoy cooperative play with one another without the need for separate servers provided by Oneway Ticket Studio.

With this change, game systems previously tailored for PvPvE—including the Market and ranking systems—have been overhauled, and combat balance, economic balance, and progression systems have been adjusted for PvE.

Director Ray expressed his unwavering affection and sense of responsibility for the game, stating, "I want to say that this change is the minimum foundation we are laying to ensure we do not completely give up on The Midnight Walkers. While it is difficult to make a clear promise as to when, I want to keep looking for possibilities to develop The Midnight Walkers into something better if sufficient opportunities and conditions arise. We will strive to leave the game behind in a responsible manner."
