Another PlayStation 2 online game bites the dust. Not long after an announcement from Konami that revealed the online portion of Metal Gear Solid 3 Subsistence would be shuttered comes word from Capcom that servers for both Resident Evil Outbreak and Resident Evil Outbreak File #2 will soon be taken offline.

From the official Capcom forums:

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.

Sorry, RE Outbreak players but you won't be taking down zombie elephants with your internet buddies come April. How many of you are out there, anyway?

One word of caution about visiting the link below. Some Resident Evil fans are obviously upset about this and adding some browser crashing code and NSFW imagery in the official forums. Venture forth at your own risk. Actually, just don't venture forth. Seriously. Michael McWhertor
