Boss Key’s cancelled video games embody “feudalpunk” dragons and dog-tanks

In the wake of the closure of Lawbreakers and Radical Heights developer Boss Key Studios, its founder, Cliff Bleszinski, has been talking about a number of the video games the group by no means acquired to make. And a few of them sound superb.

Here are the best FPS games on PC.

The spotlight is a undertaking that was codenamed DragonFlies. Cliffy describes it as a sport by which “you were ninja/samurai in airships riding dragons fighting zombies with friends in a PvE ‘feudalpunk’ setting on floating islands.” That’s quite a bit to absorb, however a number of the idea artwork that was tweeted together with the outline seems superb, and I’m very excited by no matter ‘feudalpunk’ may need meant. Player characters have been decked out in stylised takes on conventional samurai gear, and you could possibly hatch, practice, and improve a number of courses of dragons for fight.

Sadly, nonetheless, the undertaking by no means acquired off the bottom. Blezinski says he pitched the sport to a number of giant publishers, together with Microsoft, Sony, and EA. The want for a hefty funding, nonetheless, meant that it was by no means picked up.

Another undertaking, codenamed ‘Rover’ was a multiplayer sport initially deliberate for VR that noticed groups of 5 duking it out from inside canine-themed Walkers. It was a World of Tanks/Guns of Icarus-style endeavour by which some gamers would pilot walkers, whereas different acted as gunners or engineers. The third and closing sport was one other VR endeavour named Donuts, which Cliffy describes as “Mario Kart on water with animals in VR,” supposed as a non secular sequel to Atari’s 1988 arcade sport, Toobin’.

Obviously the closure of Boss Key signifies that none of those video games is more likely to ever come to move, at the very least not within the format that Cliffy suggests. That’s clearly a disgrace, however it could possibly be that some model of at the very least one in every of them finds an viewers elsewhere at some point.
