In the tumultuous world of game development, some titles find themselves stranded in the treacherous waters of "development hell." Take Beyond Good and Evil 2, announced eons ago in 2008, facing storms of uncertainty after the tragic passing of lead Emil in 2023. But fear not, as Ubisoft has hoisted its sails once more under the guidance of Fzy Mesmar, signaling a potential resurgence for this long-awaited sequel. Meanwhile, the Knights of the Old Republic remake by Saber faced its own share of challenges amidst the Embracer Group debacle, but the force remains strong with this one as development presses on.
Venturing into indie waters, Little Devil Inside, a standout from the PlayStation 5 reveal in 2020, encountered rough seas due to internal conflicts and downsizing within the development team. Yet, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the team persists in their quest to bring this promising title to fruition. On the other end of the spectrum, the Prince of Persia remake found itself in turbulent waters under an inexperienced studio's watch, prompting a complete overhaul by Ubisoft Montreal with hopes set on a 2026 release. As the gaming industry navigates these choppy waters, only time will tell if these titles will reach the shores of success or be lost at sea.
Amidst the chaos, Squadron 42, the companion game to Star Citizen, embarked on a journey back in 2014, finally revealing glimpses of gameplay in 2024 with a slated release for 2026. Similarly, Capcom's enigmatic project, Pragmata, teased in 2020, faces uncertainties and delays, yet the gaming giant's track record instills hope for its eventual emergence. As Rare's Everwild, announced in 2019, undergoes a tumultuous development cycle, recent progress hints at calmer waters ahead, promising a potential release in the near future. And in the realm of the undead, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 struggles through a turbulent development history, now under the stewardship of the Chinese Room, with a tentative release date looming on the horizon.
