This has to be one of the biggest bombs of the generation thus far (joining fellow Unreal Engine 5 showcase Immortals Aveum which bombed so hard 2/3 of that studio is out of a job)
May was a brutal month for game sales in Europe. With fantastic games like the System Shock remake on consoles, Hellblade 2, and the Rogue Prince of Persia all missing out on the Top 100. There are mitigating reasons, but the market remains challenged https://t.co/UU0a62OjRy

MS paid $120 million for this studio and it's rumored the dev cost for a very short game (5-6 hours) was like over $80 million on top of that.
Massive disaster, not making the top 100 is like even the biggest bomb of a movie not even making the top 10 in its opening weekend. Even mega bombs like Ruby Gillman at least do that. This game is a nuclear bomba.
