Do hurry up, though.

Something about that game failed to pull people in. Indeed, the all-time peak concurrent players in Mirage: Arcane Warfare doesn’t even manage to break a thousand according to Steam Charts, and at the time of writing this article the 24-hour peak is only seven players.

“Mirage launch sales were poor,” declared developer Torn Banner Studios in an update posted today. “That sucked, and we know it.”

In an attempt to relive Mirage, Torn Banner is making it totally free on Steam for 24 hours starting today, September 6th, at 10 am Pacific. Also, it’s not only a trial: if you seize Mirage on Steam during the 24-hour free window, you can have it forever.

“More than anything, we’re disappointed for the players who stuck by us and did buy Mirage—but who have struggled to find people to play against,” wrote the studio. “We just want people to play the game we spent years making.”

After the free promotion, the price of Mirage will drop to $10 permanently. It’s a disappointment for Torn Banner, but perhaps the promotion will help the right audience discover Mirage’s best qualities. And as for the future of the studio, Torn Banner says that it’s “doing fine,” and that it will “continue to make awesome games in the future.”

I’m still waiting for Absolver’s server issues to be fixed before playing too much more (the patch could come as soon as Friday), so maybe this is good timing for Mirage.

Again, you can claim the game HERE.
