Highlander: The Game Cancelled

It's lights out for Highlander: The Game. The video game adaptation of the cult '80s flick is no longer in development, a Square Enix representative confirmed to IGN today

It was a matter of time.

Years without real news or updates neither.

Damnit, I was hoping it was still alive. Highlander is ripe for a game, it features so many things that are compatible with games. Big bosses, upgrades when the boss is killed, sword gameplay, new moves when you kill enemies.

Agreed. The game has RPG written all over it. Not an MMO - Oh look, everyone is an immortal. Personally I think they should give the IP to CD Projekt and let them make the game.

noooooooooooo dammit i was looking forward to it \s

well, as ff14 is almost dead they have lost a great amount of money,they need to cancel some games that wont sell that good, maybe this case. I hope they will learn from their mistakes. But we know they wont.

Oh yea, I hope they lost a lot of money with this game since they cancel it.

That game is getting up there with Duke Nukem; only there's no real light at the end of that tunnel.

I was just thinking about what happened to this game recently. I guess that answers my questions.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit36d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing36d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9236d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
