Warface is noface, to be displaced and not replaced on the Xbox 360 marketplace

Face, off!

Crytek hasn’t been doing so hot critically lately, with the recent releases of Ryse and Warface. I would have completely forgotten that the latter game had existed if it weren’t for the ridiculous name, which immediately fills my head with John Woo-related imagery.

It turns out that Microsoft isn’t so keen on it, because it’s being discontinued entirely on the Xbox 360 after less than a year. While there was confusion abound when the announcement was first heard with blame placed on Crytek, the developer has since responded that Microsoft was actually the one who wanted to phase it out.

The game will continue to live on with the PC platform, and the Xbox 360 will cease service on February 1, 2015 — so you have some time.
