Originally published by myself on ResetEra, but for those that don’t support the site, or just don’t wanna deal with its numerous ads, I’m making it available here also.
I should also say that grace should be given for all the games on this list, especially indie games. It’s harder than ever to be making games right now, and the industry is cutthroat. The devs of these games would like to see them get released just as much, if not more, than you. So, and I mean this in the least patronising way; be kind and be patient 🙂
.45 Parabellum Bloodhound: Cyberpunk Active Time Action
First revealed: July 3, 2024
Most recent update: February 10, 2026
Today marks the day where every single story event and encounter is now fully playable. A lot of polishing awaits us and don’t get me wrong— it’s a ton of work! but it’s all far more predictable.
No new content will be added, no new sections. Just bug fixing and making things look pretty or play/read better. QOL improvements, optimization, editing, localization. Like I said, it’s a ton, just more predictable.
If everything goes well we’ll divulge a release date in a couple months.
Stay tuned!

Agent (Rockstar’s 1970s cold war spy game) [UNOFFICIALLY CANCELLED]
First revealed: June 2, 2009
Most recent update: October 31, 2025
[1970s Cold War era] was one of the versions. There was another one that was set in current. We had so many different versions of this game.
I don’t think it works. I concluded—and I keep thinking about it sometimes, I sometimes lie in bed thinking about it—I’ve concluded that what makes them really good as film stories makes them not work as video games. We need to think through how to do it in a different way as a video game.
Alien Isolation Sequel
First revealed: October 7, 2024
Most recent update: October 9th, 2025
“I know that everyone wanted to do it,” Dion Lay, co-writer of Alien: Isolation, tells the FRVR Podcast. “I think it was always like, ‘Could it happen?’ But I think that Disney buying Fox made it a lot more possible, just because I think Disney seemed to be doing a push on, like, right let’s get all these IPs and do something with them and get them running again.”
Creative Assembly revealed Isolation 2 in October of last year as part of ten-year anniversary celebrations for the first one. Let’s all agree to show up for this, alright?
Armed Fantasia/Penny Blood
First revealed: August 29, 2022
Most recent update: March 10, 2026
Our next step is to continue preparing the remaining data and content, connecting all the pieces together, and further refining the game as a complete experience.
I have been told that delays in updates like this are not uncommon in crowdfunding projects. However, even from my own perspective—someone who is not particularly strict about such things—this situation is difficult to feel comfortable with.
Because of this, I have asked the campaign team to ensure that future updates follow the planned schedule as closely as possible. If we are unable to meet that schedule, we will make sure to clearly explain the reasons why.
Assassin’s Creed: Codename HEXE
First revealed: September 10, 2022
Most recent update: March 4, 2026
While we know we haven’t shared much about this one yet, it’s being built with great care by our veteran team here at Ubisoft Montreal. Expect a unique, darker, narrative-driven Assassin’s Creed experience, set during a pivotal moment in history.
You may have seen the recent news: I have recently taken the role of Creative Director for the project, in addition to my new responsibilities as Head of Content.
We are taking the time to deliver on its ambitious vision, which means we’ll be quiet for a little longer, but we love seeing all the enthusiasm happening on our channels and can’t wait to unveil more when the time is right.
Avatar: The Last Airbender AAA RPG (Saber Interactive)
First revealed: October 3, 2024
Most recent update: December 12, 2025
During an appearance on the latest episode of the Avatar: Braving the Elements podcast, Avatar Studios Creative Executive Isabella Boettcher and Executive Story Editor Joan Hilty gave fans a glimpse of early concept art for the upcoming AAA video game from Paramount Game Studios. “Good things take time,” Boettcher noted.
“You know, it’s going to be… we have a lot of work to do,” Beottcher continued. “But we’re excited about it, and we want, you know, the fandom to know that there is stuff happening… And we’re doing it right.”
Beyond Good & Evil 2
First revealed: June 12, 2017 (This version at least.)
Most recent update: January 21, 2026
Despite the recent restructuring that has seen six games cancelled, including the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake, sources tell Insider Gaming that Beyond Good & Evil 2 is still in active development, at least for the time being.
According to sources, constant changes, pushbacks, and the lengthy development time have likely cost Ubisoft $500+ million in development costs. But, at least for the time being, Ubisoft feels like it’s a cost that is justified.
As for when Beyond Good & Evil 2 will release, it’s anyone’s guess, but it’s possible the game still won’t be seen for a number of years.
BioShock 4
First revealed: December 19, 2019
Most recent update: August 7, 2025
In an interview ahead of 2K parent company Take-Two reporting its latest 2025 quarterly earnings, I asked CEO Strauss Zelnick flat out if BioShock 4 was in danger of being canceled. Zelnick was clear in his response: “It’s going to come out,” he promised. “That I can say hand on heart, without question.”
“We don’t talk about how long our development cycles are,” Zelnick began. “We have had some ups and downs along the way. That is accurate. And we have had changes in studio leadership. That said, we have very big shoes to fill on BioShock because of the legacy of Ken Levine, the legacy of what has gone before, which has been so successful. And we need to make sure that this experience is true to the BioShock DNA on the one hand, and a massive step forward on the other hand. That’s always challenging. We think we’re up to the challenge, but it has not been seamless.”
Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth (Annapurna Interactive) [POTENTIALLY CANCELLED]
First revealed: June 29, 2023
Most recent update: January 28, 2026
While you can still view the Steam listing of Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth, a note reads, “Notice: Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth is no longer available on the Steam store.”
Development on Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth hasn’t been an easy ride since its initial announcement three years ago. Back in September 2024, it was revealed by a report on IGN that the entire development team for the project had quit, although at the time it was stated that development on the project would still continue.
“The whole situation is a baffler, but now we’re focused on moving forward. We’ve had really great conversations with an overwhelming majority of our existing development teams and are grateful for their partnership,” said Annapurna Interactive at the time.
Clockwork Revolution
First revealed: June 11, 2023
Most recent update: January 21, 2026
Clockwork Revolution is inXile Entertainment’s “most ambitious title, probably by a factor of 10,” according to studio head Brian Fargo. His team has been hard at work on this time-bending steampunk RPG for six years, and Fargo wants it to “bring the level of reactivity from our isometric titles into something first-person.” A bold ambition given the heights the studio reached with Wasteland 3.
Crazy Taxi Reboot
First revealed: December 8, 2023
Most recent update: July 1, 2024 (Official) / October 17, 2024 (Leaked gameplay) / February 13, 2026 (Speculation) [Crazy Taxi could be one of the four new games in ‘mainstay IPs’ that release within the next year.]
According to Sega, the company plans “to release four major new titles for mainstay IPs”.
It will also “maximize title potential through enhancement of ‘sales capabilities’” and continue to expand its transmedia business by using its game IP in other mediums such as film, TV or books.
While Sega didn’t give any further information on which series it’s referring to, the term “major new titles for mainstay IPs” suggests it will likely be releasing a high-budget Sonic game during this period.
Crowsworn
First revealed: July 10, 2021
Most recent update: November 12, 2025
Just yesterday they sent a KS update saying they’re in a stage of working the innards of the game, so there isn’t much to share in terms of content that could be of interest; BUT apparently things are coming along fine.
They do mention exciting news soon, but I’m not really holding my breath: they keep insisting on not even hinting at a release date, and they paywalled the demo; and those are really the only two things I would care about.
Frankly, gorgeous though the game looks, Crowsworn was the project that made me tighten my requirements when it comes to crowdfunding. Basically it goes: No demo = No backing.
Crysis 4 [OFFICIALLY “ON HOLD”]
First revealed: January 26, 2022
Most recent update: February 12, 2025
Like so many of our peers, we aren’t immune to the complex, unfavorable market dynamics that have hit our industry these past several years. It pains me greatly to share today that we must lay off an estimated 15% of our around 400 employees. The layoffs affect development teams and shared services.
This has not been an easy decision to make, as we deeply appreciate the hard work of our talented teams. After putting the development of the next Crysis game on hold in Q3 2024, we have been trying to shift developers over to Hunt: Showdown 1896.
Deep Down [I mean, it’s pretty much cancelled. Not officially, but come on.]

Most recent update: April 2023
I would email Granzella every April with nice words for the development team and how I’m looking forward to play Kujo-san’s next game. I actually got a reply in 2023:
Thank you for your inquiry.
Thank you for your patronage of “Disaster Report”.
We are currently working on the new “Disaster Report”. It is expected that it will take some time for the information to be released. I am very sorry to keep you waiting, but I would appreciate it if you could give me a little more time.

IGN: Earlier you’ve talked about the time from announcement to actual release, and how that’s something you’re a little bit more conscious of now. Talk about The Elder Scrolls 6 reveal.
Todd Howard: Just pretend we didn’t announce it. Doesn’t exist.
Etrian Odyssey 7
First revealed: July 28, 2018
Most recent update: February 9, 2023
Atlus recently confirmed [on a livestream] that a new Etrian Odyssey game is in fact still in development. The studio has been largely silent on the matter ever since another entry in the series was teased back in 2018. The news has been met with excitement by fans of Etrian Odyssey who have been eagerly awaiting this upcoming title.
Fairgame$ [Seemingly, whether or not this actually comes out depends on Marathon.]
First revealed: May 24, 2023
Most recent update: September 1, 2025
The fate of PlayStation’s upcoming live-service game Fairgames is once again under scrutiny as its creative director, Daniel Drapeau, has confirmed he has left Haven Studios to join Warner Bros. Games Montreal.
It’s the second high-profile exit of the summer, with studio founder Jade Raymond also exiting back in May, several weeks after an external playtest reportedly met a lukewarm response.
Neither Haven nor Sony have commented publicly on Drapeau’s departure.
Golden Axe Reboot

Haunted Chocolatier
First revealed: October 8, 2021
Most recent update: January 29, 2026
In a new blog posted to the official Haunted Chocolatier website, Barone dispelled a number of myths and rumors that have popped up about him and his work on the upcoming game, admitting: “I know, I know, I shouldn’t have announced the game so early. But I had my reasons.” He added that Haunted Chocolatier will release “when it’s done.”
Responding to reports that the game will be abandoned entirely and possibly folded into Stardew Valley, Barone shut that down completely, writing: “No. First, I am not going to abandon Haunted Chocolatier. But even if I did, I am not going to add it to Stardew Valley. Stardew Valley and Haunted Chocolatier are separate games. It doesn’t even make sense from a technical perspective, as Haunted Chocolatier is written from scratch, it’s not the same ‘engine’ as Stardew Valley. You can’t just copy and paste Haunted Chocolatier into Stardew Valley.”

Iron Man (EA/Motive)
First revealed: September 20, 2022
Most recent update: April 14, 2025
[…] a job listing for EA Motive’s Iron Man has outed new details about the single-player action game.
As noted in the level designer advert, EA Motive is looking for someone who can ‘design and build major single-player levels, within the project’s creative constraints’.
The listing also calls for ‘experience in single-player action RPG games’, which is the first mention we’ve had of any role-playing mechanics (even if it will likely just mean some sort of skill tree.
Development on Iron Man is being led by Olivier Proulx, who previously worked on the acclaimed Guardians Of The Galaxy game for Square Enix. No footage has been shown, yet but the studio apparently hit a ‘major internal milestone’ on the project last year.

To close my discussion, I ask Levine what Ghost Story Games’ biggest priorities are in the coming months of development. He says the team is heads down on its next big milestone and that Judas is progressing really well. “We’ve gotten to a good place to start keeping our community more in the loop, so we started a series of development updates earlier this year,” he adds. “We’ve got two of them up so far, with more from us to share coming soon.

Most recent update: December 11, 2025
While we have been firing on all cylinders, we still need more development time to finish the koROBO. We are sorry for taking this long to get back to you with a release date delay, but it’s looking like we’ll need until the latter half of 2026 to release the game at the quality level we want. We greatly appreciate your patience about this schedule change.
The Last Night
First revealed: October 28, 2014
Most recent update: A generative AI disclaimer was added to the Steam store page for it within the last year or so. Developer’s also a chud. Play REPLACED instead.
The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:
The Last Night’s city is split in half—a stark contrast between the “old world,” resembling our society today, and the “new world,” an AI-designed, optimized, and meticulously run district.
Given the game’s premise and the city layout, we intentionally use generative AI to conceptualize unique architectural patterns and details for the new district. These AI-generated designs reflect the efficiency and alien logic of a world shaped by AI. However, every piece is carefully redrawn in pixel art by human artists to ensure consistency with the game’s handcrafted aesthetic and visual identity.

It’s been a while since our last update, and we know some of you have been wondering where things stand. To clear things up right away, The Lost Wild is very much in active development, and we’re fully committed to bringing this game to you.
We’ve been heads-down for a while, getting our core tech rock-solid, refining processes, and shaping the game into the experience we’ve always envisioned. As an indie team, we’re aiming high: realistic dinosaurs that genuinely feel alive, a rich and immersive world, a narrative that hits deep, and gameplay that’s tense, exciting, and meaningful. Getting all of this right takes time, and needless to say, there are a lot of moving parts.

Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake
First revealed: June 6, 2022
Most recent update: February 12, 2026
For starters, according to the official document, the project is currently in full production. In development terms, this means the game is being actively built from the ground up.
While this is a somewhat timid update, it is also a pleasant surprise given that we weren’t even sure if the core production phase had officially kicked off yet. But as encouraging as that sounds, what really caught everyone’s attention happened during the Q&A session following the report.
At the 31:50 mark of the video presentation, Markus Mäki, Remedy’s interim CEO, dropped a surprising declaration that explains exactly why Remedy has been so silent about the remakes. “Unfortunately, the Max Payne communications are all driven by Rockstar,” Mäki stated. “So we are working on it hard, so that’s all I can say.”

N1RV Ann-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action (VA-11 Hall-A sequel)
First revealed: September 18, 2018
Most recent update: June 18, 2025
We’re focused on .45 PARABELLUM BLOODHOUND at the moment. After that game ships we’ll update on the state of N1rvannA.
All in all, I’m determined to make it happen. Sam’s story is still so far ahead of anything else in the industry it’d be a huge loss to the medium if it didn’t release. Also, I’m bummed as hell at our lack of commercial releases after VA-11 Hall-A, but my aim with both .45PB and N1rvannA is to finally settle on a process to ship games faster, and make our second decade the start of the Sukeban Millennium.
Outlast 3
First revealed: December 7, 2017
Most recent update: March 1, 2024
The inevitable question arose: Why did the developers start working on The Outlast Trials instead of diving into the eagerly awaited Outlast 3? Was this strategic move driven by a quest for the more sustained revenue of a multiplayer title?
Morin provided insight: “Well, we would have been able to ship out Outlast 3 much quicker than this.” he said reflecting on the six years it’s taken to develop The Outlast Trials. “No, we were actually a bit fed up. So we took maybe four to five months, the guys were switching to Unreal 4 so they needed to use the new tech. We were brainstorming ideas, and eventually because with every project we like to try and give ourselves new challenges, like trying to be more narrative with Outlast 2 than 1, this time it was multiplayer.”
[…] If we’d have known it would have taken 6 years then maybe we would have done Outlast 3 first, but then again we’re super happy with what we have today so I think it was worth it.”

One source even mentioned the fact that the team had been making “very little progress over months.” For what it’s worth, a good portion of the game has been completed, but, for what they still need to wrap up, sources say it hasn’t been going all that well.
“The game is still looking to be years off from completion,” one source said back in December.

In the immediate future, the game is coming to Crunchyroll Vault, which is very exciting for a new audience to be able to experience it. In addition, Steins;Gate is celebrating its 15th anniversary in Japan. So, we have some live events and live programming planned around that. Beyond those, I think it’s already been announced, but there is a sequel to which we are putting the concepts together right now, and my task is then to take this concept and translate it into a scenario for the game.

We’re planning an internal game jam to start the year. The team recently spent some time workshopping ideas and thinking outside-the box to come up with innovative mechanics they might add to the game.

Streets of Rage: Revolution
First revealed: December 8, 2023
Most recent update: February 13, 2026 [Streets of Rage: Revolution could be one of the four new games in ‘mainstay IPs’ that release within the next year.]
According to Sega, the company plans “to release four major new titles for mainstay IPs”.
It will also “maximize title potential through enhancement of ‘sales capabilities’” and continue to expand its transmedia business by using its game IP in other mediums such as film, TV or books.
While Sega didn’t give any further information on which series it’s referring to, the term “major new titles for mainstay IPs” suggests it will likely be releasing a high-budget Sonic game during this period.
Streets of Rogue 2
First revealed: August 22, 2023
Most recent update: December 5, 2025
The Short Version!
- Streets of Rogue 2 remains in very active development!
- It’s taking a bit longer than anticipated because SOR2 is a very complex game being programmed and largely designed by a single person (me).
- These factors led to my underestimating the time it would take to get the game into Early Access while meeting my quality standard, resulting in a couple of missed release dates last year.
- We’ll announce a release date only when I’m 100% sure I can meet that date.
Subnautica 2
First revealed: April 7, 2022
Most recent update: March 16, 2026
In a statement, Krafton said it disagreed with the ruling, and that Subnautica 2 would be released “as soon as possible”.
“Krafton puts players at the heart of every decision, and that will never change,” it said. “Over the past several months, Krafton and the Unknown Worlds team have worked tirelessly to strengthen the game and prepare it for an Early Access release, with a continued focus on delivering the best possible experience for the Subnautica community. We look forward to pushing out the newly updated version as soon as possible for players.
“While we respectfully disagree with today’s ruling, we are evaluating our options as we determine our path forward. Today’s ruling does not resolve the former executives’ claim for damages or an earnout related to Subnautica 2, with further litigation still pending. In the meantime, Krafton’s immediate focus remains unchanged: delivering the best possible game to Subnautica’s fans.”
Splinter Cell Remake

It could be, or it could take longer. That said, what I can say is that we have visions of what we can do within what we control.”

Of course, ending the interview, I wouldn’t be satisfied if I didn’t ask Harada about TEKKEN X Street Fighter and keep the question tradition alive. So, of course, I asked him, and was surprised to get an answer from Harada about the game.
“It’s hard to say if that’s even a thing. I mean, it depends on what people are wanting as well. That said, I would like to show people what we already have. That would be cool if we could do that. We were 30 percent into development, so fingers crossed.”

Most recent update: February 16, 2026
Coming by way of Noble Securities, which is a Polish investment company that often covers CD Projekt and its stock, it was claimed that The Witcher Remake is now set to launch in 2028. This release window was said to have been delayed by a year, which means that CDPR was previously targeting an arrival in 2027.

First revealed: December 13, 2019
Most recent update: September 17, 2025
Put on the spot, Herman continued: “We wrote a season, Season Two. We think it’s better than Season One – and we were on Season One. And yeah, we’re really proud of it. We were doing tests. We were in cinematics and animation and stuff. And then basically they needed more time.
“They weren’t… We weren’t running the project. It was Telltale we were doing it in partnership with. And we couldn’t wait around and do nothing, so we had to move on to Dispatch to keep the studio moving, and they needed to go their own way.
“We’re looking forward to seeing what they do with it,” Herman added. “I don’t know how much of our version of the script is going to make it into what they end up making. But if one day we were able to make the thing that we wrote and were in the middle of directing, we think people would love it. So, you know, good luck.”

That’s why I’m working really hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
