Chromehounds: FromSoftware's Mech Game Rises From the Ashes

Fifteen years after its servers shut down, the cult-classic mech game Chromehounds has been resurrected by a dedicated community. ImagineBeingAtComputers, using the Xbox 360 emulator Xenia and reverse engineering skills, managed to bring back online multiplayer. While currently limited to free battles, the team aims to restore the full-fledged 'Neroimus War' mode, a monumental task involving rebuilding a complex database. This revival not only showcases the enduring passion for niche games but also highlights the power of open-source collaboration and advancements in emulation technology.
