Outbreak Taken Offline

Resident Evil: Outbreak and its sequel to halt online play.

Following a string of recent online server shutdowns, Capcom has decided to close servers for Resident Evil Outbreak and Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2 at the end of March. Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2 has been open since August, 2005 and has continued to support free online play during the entire length of its run.

Capcom moderator Zeus explained in his forum announcement: “Regretfully, conditions now dictate that we must close down this server effective from March 31, 2007. Naturally it will still be possible to play the game offline, but the online component will no longer be available.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have been loyal members of the RE Outbreak community for the past months.”
