That's a shame. Would have liked to see what they had in the works with it.
it's not a genre I'm particularly interested in but it does interest me that yet another game is cancelled. Warcraft Adventures, Starcraft Ghost, Titan, Overwatch 2 and now this unnamed game... hopefully they can at least find some use for all the assets created for the game in something else so it's not a complete waste
Good. Blizzard should focus on improving their existing IPs and maybe reviving old titans like Starcraft.
Oh well. Easy come, easy go.
I had some friends and old classmates who were working on this, feels bad that it's cancelled. : (
Smart move, survival games are everywhere. Streamers hype them up for a week and then move on to the next thing and the game dies out. Blizz would have to create something groundbreaking to make it work and I don't really see that happening. Good they did this.
Cmon Blizzard, just do a Starcraft or Diablo MMO. Or maybe a Starcraft ARPG. Watch the money roll in.
game would of been DoA ... like right off the rip would of been terrible and then 8 patches later you could play it finally and then 12 patches later you can finally do the end boss of the game and 350 dollars later you finally have the gear you wanted b.c the best items are from a mob that takes an item from the store to summon :) ....the blizzard/microsoft pay to be a part of the game model doesnt work with a survival game soo cancel that right away 60 bucks for a single game(my bad ... i mean 100 but w.e you know im trying to be hopeful here) thats just not enough anymore they gotta get atleast 4-500 a person playing their games now b.c thats how much they CHOSE to spend to make it ... sooo now they cant let you just spent 60-100 dollars for a single game thats not enough ... i could see it now patch 2 or 3 will impliment battle pass and patch 4 and 5 are all cosmetics and mounts from the store and by the time patch 7 and 8 roll around we are talking about making it be sharded and cross platform soo you can not only play with friends you'll almost feel like your playing an MMO ... patch 10 and 11 will add full MMO support and before you know it we are back to an MMO people lets go WOW2.0 :D TLDR: you cant battle pass and micro purchase a survival game soo its canned of course ... why only make 1 million when you can make 100?
Overwatch was originally supposed to be an MMORPG and was rebooted.I wouldn't be surprised if they do the same with this survival game.
TBH, a survival game with Blizzard's iconic art style wouldn't stand a chance agaisnt the likes of 7DTD, Rust, Valheim, or The Forest.What makes survival games truly interesting is the level of realism, specially what would a postapocaliptic world would be.
So they cancelled the game to move people to work on…other new games? Why did they even announce this survival game if it’s so early stages? How many millions of dollars has blizzard spent on scrapped games/content? Blizzard is on a real hot streak of terrible decisions.
