We’ll update the post as more info becomes available.


Here’s the announcement from the studio:

We are currently performing emergency maintenance for the next hour. During this time, the game will be unavailable for play.

Bummer! We hope this downtime isn’t too long, though we wouldn’t be against it if it meant it came with a patch that addresses a number of ongoing issues, including the Xbox achievement crashes, and more. Guess we’ll find out soon! We’ll be sure to keep you updated once the servers go up, or should there be any unexpected extended downtime.
