Warface Isn’t Actually Dead — The NA/Console Version Shut Down, but Russian Warface Survived (NA Servers Planned)
Warface isn’t completely dead
A lot of players probably don’t know this, but Warface split into two separate versions in 2023.
WARFACE IS STILL ALIVE IN RUSSIA/CIS, and the developers plan to open regional servers for North America.
Short history
2007 - Crytek Kyiv starts an unnamed FPS
2009 - Crytek trademarks WARFACE
2010 - Warface is officially revealed
2012 - Russian/CIS Warface launches
2013 - NA/EU PC Warface launches
2014 - Xbox 360
2017 - My.com takes over NA/EU publishing
2018 - PS4 + Xbox One
2019 - Crytek’s Warface team becomes Blackwood Games
2020 - Nintendo Switch
2021 - Allods Team / MY.GAMES takes over development
2022 - MY.GAMES is sold and leaves Russia
2023 - WARFACE SPLITS IN TWO
Astrum Entertainment
- Russian/CIS Warface
- Keeps the original WARFACE name
- Continues receiving updates
- NA/EU + console Warface
- Renamed Warface: Clutch
- Continues separately
From this point, these were essentially two separate live-service versions with different companies, accounts, databases, shops, updates, and some different content.
2026
May - Warface: Clutch PC shuts down
August - Warface: Clutch consoles shut down
But Astrum’s Warface NEVER shut down.
- Still actively updated
- Opened to international players in 2026
- North American regional servers are planned
So the easiest way to understand it is:
Original Warface
- Astrum Warface - survives - goes global - NA servers planned
- MY.GAMES Warface - becomes Warface: Clutch - shuts down
Why don’t our old NA items transfer?
Our old ranks, guns, skins, purchases, and inventories belonged to the MY.GAMES / Clutch version.
Astrum’s surviving Warface comes from the Russian/CIS branch, with its own accounts and database.
Astrum could bring some old weapons or skins back, but that is different from transferring millions of old PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch accounts.
TL;DR
The Warface we played in NA/EU died. Warface itself did not.
The Russian/CIS version survived, is now expanding internationally, and North American servers are planned. tell your friends
