People Can Fly Cancels One Of The Projects It Had In Progress
Apr. 30, 2024People Can Fly Cancels One Of The Projects It Had In Progress
The Polish studioPeople Can Flyhas announced the definitive cancellation ofProject Dagger, one of the projects it had in progress. The news was announced in early April through its investor portal; it started circulating on social media just yesterday.
This cancellation is the result of “the reassessment of development plans” that was carried out for Project Dagger and other games the studio was working on at the end of last year; this operation was announced at that time as well: the corresponding report explains that the idea was to have ten people rethink the project in order to better evaluate its scope and commercial prospects.
The scope of the project has been attempted to be recalculated since then, reducing it (which prompted layoffs in the team), but it seems that there has been no way to make its commercial prospects attractive enough to keep it active.
Project Daggeris not the only gamePeople Can Flyhad in the works. They are also working withSquare Enixon a project they callGemini,and there have also been recent layoffs on that team; this is not the first time they have collaborated with the Japanese company: they already released the somewhat troubled Outriders, a looter shooter that marked their first major release after gaining notoriety withBulletstorm and Gears of War: Judgment.Precisely with Microsoft, they are working on something called Project Maverick, rumored to be related to Gears of War.
There are two more projects, Bifrost and Victoria, these two self-published and driven solely by the studio, towards which personnel seems to have been redirected for some time now: this was already discussed at the end of last year when that process of reassessment of Project Dagger was announced.
