Ninja Theory launchedBleeding Edge, its 4-on-4 multiplayer combat game,last year. While it’s full ofvaried, memorable characters,the game never really took off. Sure, it receivedmiddling reviewson launch, but we’ve seen other online games come out of the gate slowly only to turn it around. Unfortunately, that isn’t going to be the case withBleeding Edge. Today,With the studio now focusing on our new projects (Senuaâs Saga, Project Mara & The Insight Project) we have decided that there will be no further content updates for Bleeding Edge. The game is still playable on Xbox and PC. Thank you to the fans & keep teaming up & causing chaos!— Bleeding Edge (@BleedingEdgeNT)August 24, 2025" target="_blank" rel=“noopener”>the studio announcedthat they’re moving development resources toSenua’s Saga, Project Mara, andThe Insight Project. It’s a bit sad, but the game never had the player base to sustain itself.

Again, this isn’t a surprise. Just looking at theunofficial Steam stats,Bleeding Edgehad a peak player count of 11 during the entire month of December. That’s just not going to keep the doors open. Doubly so when your studio is hard at work on a few exciting new games. That said, it does stink to see a game that was a passion project for the development team ultimately fail after less than a year.
It will be interesting to see when the studio starts to talk more about the other three projects they have on the docket. Obviously, they’ve popped up here and there, but none of them have a firm release date just yet. And Ninja Theory has steadily put out at least one game per year since 2017. It seems completely feasible that we’ll see one of these titles launch later this year.
Bleeding Edgeis still available onPCandXbox One. Maybe with this announcement you’ll be able to find one or two last games before the community dries up completely.
