With game development being a long, hard process, and game developers being laid off in their thousands, there are plenty of promising games that get lost along the way. But despite our being sad about it, games we’re excited for continue to get canceled, and studios we love continue to get closed. Join us now as we take a moment for seven more great games that, without some major unforeseen intervention, you will never get to play.

    Prey 2 cancelled 2014. Prey 2 cancelled in 2024. Prey 2 to be cancelled in 2034
  • @SirAsdf
    The fact we now have two Prey 2s that will never see the light of day is frankly hilarious, in a morbid "time is a flat circle" kind of way.
  • @armelior4610
    "beware spoilers on the possibility of the following games existing"
  • @Darkreaper1982
    Not getting Prey 2 is such a shame. 1st Prey and Moon-Crash were criminally underrated.
  • @grumble
    Just a note that Arkane Austin and Lyon developed Dishonored 1 together, with Austin making the Daud DLC on their own, while Lyon started production on Dishonored 2. Lyon then made Death of the Outsider while Austin worked on Prey. Zenimax did them so dirty, insisting they make Redfall a live service game that no-one actually wanted 😢

    7:13 Funnily enough, Jane, Spiders-Man is an alternate universe version of Spiderman and is actually a hive-minded swarm of thousands of tiny spiders that killed and ate no powers Peter Parker but somehow absorbed his consciousness in the process. Wracked with the guilt of killing Peter they became Spiders-Man to help people.
  • @Bloodglas
    Alice: Asylum never even got considered for development but not getting that is a shame. especially considering it ended up leading to the creator not only giving up on trying to continue the series, but quitting the games industry entirely.

    Similarities about the gaming industry & a criminal syndicate. -All the money goes to the high ranking officials. -Exhaust employees until they're useless. -After an operation will get rid of the underlings. -Uses loopholes to get around laws.
  • @VonBlade
    Imagine living in a world where HiFi Rush 2 is canned, but Redfall gets released.
  • @NocturnalDecay
    Microsoft shuttering Tango as they were pitching Hi Fi Rush 2 is something I will never forgive them for
  • @andycyca
    I love this video as a quiet, but strong protest against all the layoffs
  • @oxfanblink4115
    Bully 2 is another one that’s getting more and more unlikely to actually hit stores (physical or digital) anytime soon due to GTA 6 and the original being 18 years old as of right now
  • @KayinGD
    Six and seven hit bloody hard. Evil Within 2 was superb, and closing down an award winning, suddenly beloved studio off the back of Hi Fi Rush is a real 4D chess move from Microsoft that's sure to win them many more fans. It's a gambit that wouldn't have looked out of place during the darkest of their Xbox One days.
  • No one tell Jane that Spiders Man is both a real thing in comics and also one of creepiest concepts in marvel history.

  • @xrichie7924
    Supposedly the Life By You devs weren't actually that far off from a player ready early access version but the project was canceled for the usual shareholder reasons
  • @donultrawide
    This is how I found out Life By You was cancelled 😭
  • @AllTeam
    Killing Prey games (original 2 and reboot 2 would have been awesome) was just another shot into the heart. Ubisoft canceling their games for xdefiant also irked me.
  • It makes me so sad to see Tango get shut down. Hi-Fi Rush is one of the best games I've played and it absolutely deserves a sequel. You get a robot cat in it, for crying out loud!
