Freedom Wars and Soul Sacrifice lose online for Christmas

 Two of the Vita's major exclusives, Soul Sacrifice and Freedom Wars will go dark online on December 24th. Both are titles that strongly deserve another shot at PS5 life, had Sony not shut down Studio Japan. The news from Sony comes as no surprise, as part of the company's efforts to move on from the Vita and burn its legacy to the ground. 

Update: If there is an upside to this, lots of people are playing these games and the online is buzzing as players try to collect the rarer trophies. 

I guess all that's really left among the big names is Killzone Mercenary and even that will likely drop off soon. On the plus side, lots of owners were downloading Freedom Wars again for a final bash, annoyingly my save has vanished somewhere or is on another memory card, but let's rush toward those final trophies! 

Soul Sacrifice I never got into quite as much, but the Delta version is packed full of character and style, well worth digging out for a last hurrah! Hopefully playing ad hoc mode will see a few players get together to continue the quests.
