Gravity Rush 2 Online Servers Shutting Down This Month

Despite the fan campaign to keep the Gravity Rush 2 online servers alive with their #DontForgetGravityRush protest, both SIE Japan Studio and Project Siren have officially announced that the servers will be closed on July 19.

The online servers were originally scheduled to be shut down on January 19, yet due to the #DontForgetGravityRush campaign, SIE Japan Studio decided to allow the online service to continue for six more months.

The good news for trophy hunters at least, is that the Platinum will remain obtainable after the Gravity Rush 2 online servers close on July 19. None of the trophies are online, including the 11 trophies on the DLC pack The Ark of Time – Raven’s Choice.

The online aspect to Gravity Rush 2 was an added feature which allowed players to obtain new costumes and items to decorate their in-game home, as well as send and receive Challenges, Treasure Hunts, and Photo Ghosts, and view rankings.

Gravity Rush 2, known in Japan as Gravity Daze 2, is a third-person action adventure released in January 2017 exclusively for the PS4. The main character, Kat, possesses the ability to manipulate gravity while she battles against strange creatures known as the Nevi. The game is a sequel to the 2012 Gravity Rush which was originally an exclusive for the PlayStation Vita before being ported in a Remastered version for the PS4.
