Remnant Knights closing on January 31
'Tis the season for MMO closures, apparently. Following on the heels of ArchLord is this announcement about Remnant Knights. The title will close its doors on January 31, 2014. GameSamba will be providing cash shop compensation for "all Sambas spent in-game from November 1, 2013 until the closing date."

Free for All: Here's looking at you, Remnant Knights
Sometimes I forget how nice it is to jump into a bright, cartoony world. MMOs can be such serious business these days. Remnant Knights, published by GameSamba, fills the need for escape into a wacky world. It's a truly free free-to-play game that hails from overseas. You know the type: a cash shop attached to an absolutely free client, no pay walls like the ones we see in Western freemium titles, gloriously cartoony and unabashedly cute. Remnant Knights plunks players down in a world of two schools: the Owl Academy and the Dragon Academy. I received a higher-level education with my press account, which made me a member of the Owls. Unfortunately there were no available slots left for me to create a new character, but let me tell you what I found anyway. Hint: It's wacky.
GDC 2011: GameSamba talks about its upcoming plans
While you may have only heard about GameSamba from our recent beta key giveaway post, the company's intent is to hit the ground running in the free-to-play market this year. How will it accomplish that? The plan is to bring out a bunch of fun games that all kinds of people will enjoy. Currently, the company's site only shows two games -- Remnant Knights and Cocolani Island -- which are both in closed beta. However, we understand from our talk at GDC that the publisher is working on releasing six more titles in the near future so it can give players even more gaming choices. For now, we wanted to focus on finding out more about the two GameSamba free-to-play titles that players will be able to check out soon: Remnant Knights and Cocolani Island. So if you like the idea of adorable anime girls with obnoxiously enormous guns or tiki-themed minigame madness, join us behind the break for videos and more -- and don't forget the galleries! %Gallery-118257%
GDC 2011: GameSamba's Remnant Knights hosting special week-long beta
Game conventions are normally all about the big guns, and this year's GDC is no different. We've talked to them all (as you'll see as the week rolls on), but sometimes it's the little guys that provide the really interesting nuggets. Take GameSamba and its whimsical free-to-play Remnant Knights title, for instance. While the game is currently in closed beta (with a true open beta to come at an as-yet undetermined future date), Massively editor-in-chief Shawn Schuster learned about a special one-week beta test after speaking with GameSamba earlier this afternoon. The testing phase starts tomorrow and is open to anyone and everyone. You can sign up, as well as learn more about the game's Priests, Gunners, and Crashers, at the official website. While you're at it, have a look at the Remnant Knights trailer after the cut. Finally, don't forget to check back later in the week for an interview with the GameSamba team.
