#5 The Fixer
Climax Studios is a British video game development studio that had a few notable games over the years but you would probably know about them for Silent Hill: Origins and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, if not their 2004 release Sudeki. The game development studio is still around today and while it’s been around since 1988, there are bound to be plenty of video game titles that were scrapped and never saw the light of day. One of those was a PlayStation 3 exclusive known as The Fixer.
Not much is known about the game other than the fact that SCEE decided to pull away from the contract resulting in the game being killed off. Only a brief video has released online for this project which shows that the game would have been a third-person shooter. Mind you that this game was supposed to be a 2006 or 2007 release so the video is nothing all that glamorous to look at. However, it goes down as another title on this list as a game that could have potentially been a hit though we’ll of course never know.
#4 Killing Day
Killing Day was being developed under Ubisoft and as of right now it looked as if the game might have been a Sony exclusive. From what we know the game was being developed during 2005 and it was even shown off during E3 2005 where it looked rather impressive. This was a first-person shooter with really no backstory as to what gamers would be in-store for. However, from the footage shown off, the game looked like it was heavily focused on the environment with statues being blown to bits, glass walkways being available to shatter from gunshots and a good amount of explosions for some more chaotic experience.
With a name like Killing Day, it was pretty clear that Ubisoft had a ton of action being put into this game. Again, like the rest of the games on this list, things didn’t go according to plan. Instead, Ubisoft apparently killed off Killing Day when it was in the middle of production with no reasons as to what caused the game to get scrapped.
#3 Redwood Falls
Kuju is a video game development company that has brought out a few different titles such as Art Academy, The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest and Powerstar Golf. But back in 2006, the company was working on a first-person shooter with horror elements known as Redwood Falls. The game actually has an interesting backstory as it was shown off after developers only worked on the title for just a few short months.
After its initial production, the game was being shown off to potential publishers and it generated a massive amount of buzz. The horror game had interesting monsters, a very interactive world and groundwork for a narrative to captivate gamers. The problem only came after Kuju was bought out. Apparently, the new owners took one look at the game and decided that this wasn’t the direction that they wanted to go and scrapped Redwood Falls, much to the disappointment to developers who worked on the game, potential publishers and a slew of gamers out there.
#2 WarDevil
A subsidiary of Ignition Entertainment, Digi-Guys, was working on a game known as WarDevil an action title that was being developed from 2004 to 2010. We don’t have too much information about the game but apparently, the development team was working on the project mainly as a tech demo for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. So much time and money went into the project that it actually caused the studio to be closed down. It seems to be a game that would have mixed God of War with gunplay and supernatural powers.
#1 Coded Arms Assault
Konami has a few cancelled games and dormant franchises in their catalog. One of those is Coded Arms as we almost had an installment for the PlayStation 3 years ago. The game was being called Coded Arms: Assault, a first-person shooter that was announced during E3 of 2006. Apparently, the game will also have 16-player online multiplayer matches and while we got a small trailer for the game, Konami decided to kill it off without warning.
