Crytek’s free-to-play first-person shooter Warface is coming to a close on Xbox 360 February 1, the company announced today on Facebook.

“Existing players will still be able to play teh game and use any content they have already acquired until the game closure date,” reads the Facebook post. “However, effective today, no new players will be able to join and current players will no longer be able to purchase additional Warface Kredits. Players can spend any existing Kredits they have within the game until it closes on February 1st, 2015.

“To all our Xbox 360 players, thank you for choosing to spend your time playing Warface—and we hope you’ll become part of the vibrant community enjoying regular new content and Co-op and Versus action—subscription free—on PC.”

Warface launched on Xbox 360 in April, just before the financial shake-ups that saw the company shift focus from developer to online publisher and sell Homefront: The Revolution and its development studio to Deep Silver.
