After more than 3 years of online service, the external company providing server hosting for both Resident Evil: Outbreak and Monster Hunter has decided to exit the PlayStation 2 online business altogether, with no possibility of outsourcing either the service or the technology.

This means that online gameplay for both games will come to an end on December 31, 2007. Fortunately, the single-player campaigns in both games will be unaffected by this change and will continue to provide hours of entertainment on both PlayStation 2 and backwards-compatible PlayStation 3 hardware. Thank you for supporting Capcomâ€™s online titles over the years!

And just so you know, although these are older titles, we did want to make an effort to keep the fans happy and continue supporting online play. Weâ€™ve tried to extend the contract, move it someplace else, etc. Itâ€™s not happening. The hosting partner (who I guess remains nameless here) is just quitting the business entirely and doesnâ€™t want to mess around with the time/money involved in porting anything. Thanks to everyone who has kept these games fun online for so many years.

I can see a mass online gathering for the last time now... Although things like this are sad they spur the online community into such a vigorous "final game".
