Developer Media Molecule announced it will end live support for Dreams on September as the team is shifting its focus on "an exciting new project."
"You’ll continue to be able to play, create and share Dreams with others after September, but we won’t be releasing any more updates to the game or events such as DreamsCom, All Hallows’ Dreams or the Impy Awards," reads the announcement from Media Molecule. "We’re incredibly proud of the work we’ve done in developing Dreams - such as our content releases, Create updates and live events - and we are endlessly grateful to the community for their belief and continuous contributions since launch.
"Although this is challenging news we do have a few more updates on the way, including the much anticipated Tren, and a significant improvement to animation and our last Create mode update.
"We will continue to share and celebrate creations in Dreams with the wider world on our social channels, our streams, Impsider roundups and more. We will be continuing our in-game curation work to make sure the Dreamiverse feels as alive as it always has been, and to surface amazing creations from you, our community, for everyone to enjoy.
"We know this won't be an easy message for everyone to hear, and it's certainly not been an easy decision - Dreams has been a special project for Media Molecule and helping this burgeoning community of game developers, tinkerers, creatives, collaborators and dreamers grow and express themselves remains one of the best things we've ever done. Thank you for being part of it with us - we look forward to you joining us on our next adventure."
Dreams is available for the PlayStation 4.

Nothing last forever although this was a nice engine to create small games!
What could've been if it had at least been ported to PC......
At least it can still be used even if not supported anymore. Still a PC port for this game would be good even if would give little money to Sony. Perhaps have a port made by another studio, even if small and them benefit from modders.
I wished much more success for this game. Very sorry to see it go without becoming a huge commercial hit. Many really awesome little (and not so little) gems in dreams. Some I will remember for years to come. I hope we can play all of them for a long time. The day it gets shut completely will be infinitely sadder.
