Heroes & Generals, developed by TLM Games, has officially ended development. The free-to-play MMO set in WWII shut down on May 25, nearly a month after its creator said the game would be coming to an end.
TLM reported that “over 22 million gamers signed up,” which was “beyond all our wildest dreams” for the video game. We really appreciate all of the support and enthusiasm.
