Canceled Games That Could Have Been Massive Hits

Sometimes a game enters development and gets cancelled before anyone’s even really heard about it, for one reason or another. Sometimes the money runs out, sometimes the studio gets bought by another company with different priorities, sometimes the game just doesn't work very well.

So this is a liste of seven video games that were cancelled that could have been a lot of fun.

Star Wars 1313

This game would have been a gritty look at the Star Wars universe from the perspective of famed bounty hunter Boba Fett. From the sounds of it, it would had an Arkham kind of vibe to it.

Faith and a .45

It was kind of like The Last of Us meets There Will Be Blood. This game was about two characters who were on the run from an oil baron. It had a great setting, and some interesting mechanics like being able to give a “Kiss of Life” to your teammate when they’re wounded.

Halo: Chronicles

Make a Halo game. So for an announced Halo game to get cancelled, there must have been a lot of things that just weren’t going right.

Chronicles was going to be a change of pace, as it was described as more of an interactive movie / the most cinematic of all the Halo games.

Things took a turn when the Peter Jackson Halo movie didn’t end up happening. The game was going to be released around the same time.

Fallout Online

The Fallout franchise has created, arguably, one of the greatest settings for a video game, all that’s really missing is being able to explore the wasteland with a buddy. It was being developed my Masthead Studios, with Interplay as the publisher.

Dirty Harry

This one actually had Clint Eastwood’s approval but he was going to voice the protagonist. This game was going to take place in between the first and second Dirty Harry movies, and would have filled in a little more background about the iconic badass.
