As it was, it sounded like a dud. Perhaps it was too ambitious for its own good. I'm not entirely convinced it's canceled either. There is a possibility it could turn into a more traditional hack n slash given MS needs new games. |
No that's not it. MS forced a multiplayer mode on the game and the engine wasn't built for that. It's a game that started on the Wii but moved to the Xbox One. MS decided to fund it and part way into development told them they wanted online multiplayer. Kamiya tried to put it in but it wasn't working.
Ms canceled Fable Legends as well, canceled again a game they wanted to be online multiplayer canceled
They Phantom Dust. They gave the studio a very small budget and then told them what they want. Online multiplayer. Darkside said fine but they need more funding for what MS wants. MS told them to fuck off cancelled the game and shut down the studio.
Then they cancelled Ion
Knoxvillle
Adrift
There was more but MS usually just dropping a project. The 3 well known ones..they forced online multiplayer in. MS seems to have adopted a policy of all their exclusives must have online multiplayer.
