Yea, I think Pikmin 4 is a case of will happen, but it surely went back to the drawing board after being cancelled for Wii U. But I wouldn't count it to the games here, it never got properly announced.

All their mobile projects fail, Yo-Kai Watch does not sell 25% of what it used to do, they have widespread delays that have caused them to have to reboot Inazuma Eleven twice, their Ni No Kuni movie was a huge box office failure in Japan.
Designer of cyberpunk indie The Last Night speaks out as Twitter history causes stir (update)
Tweets about GamerGate and feminism rile up social media

I mean..
There social media has been posting images and some info. They also had a demo available at a trade show late last year.
Santo employees saw an opportunity to jump onto a Half Life game and peaced out 😂😭
Well that's a bummer, I loved what I saw from that game and I definitely want to see it released.
I have to say I didn't pay much attention but I always assumed it was multiplayer Black Flag with all AC stuff taken out. So you are captian of your ship but also you can go to towns and deserted islands.
Deep Down: announced seven years ago, the last news we had were, to quote Ono, "the game has not been completely given up on", which sounds like what one would say right before turning it into a mobile gacha or pachinko. :D
They've shown off 2 person co-op for it, but it didn't seem to be a big focus. I don't see it being F2P but I could see it getting released in some kind of "early access" format.
I hope not but Ghostwire Tokyo or maybe it moved over to next gen either way I just want to see more
Don't blame them. If I got to work at a major studio and got the choice to work on any of their IP that I wanted to, I'd drop whatever I was currently working on to work on one of my beloved franchises.
Was true and happened in my experience. But sure, whatever you say bud.
Why?
The game is still in active development, it has a publisher, and the team shares updates on Twitter. Indie games take time.
Yeah...
I backed this and Unsung Story, urgh.
People mentioned earlier in this thread that the Unsung Story Devs still frequently give updates, but it's square grid based now instead of hexagons and looks NOTHING like the game from the pitch. It's a game I'll get free eventually for having backed a completely different pitch from a different team years ago.
Just keeping the name doesn't mean the original game isn't dead.
And speaking of dead:
RIP Mineko's Night Market, we hardly knew you.
There was a good PoC game on PC and Xbox that was simply Sea Dogs 2 rebranded.
probably metroid prime 4, seeing as it got announced in 2017, scrapped to be reworked back in 2019 and we haven't heard anything about its development since. fingers crossed, though.
You think it's cancelled because we haven't heard from it in a little over a year??
nah, it's just in my experience following game development, when a game has to be rebuilt from the ground up, it either never sees the light of day or it comes out several years later than expected.
fingers crossed as i said earlier, but given how back in 2017 all we got was the logo i'm assuming we will not hear much for a while
SpaceVenture seems like a weird thing to still care about, but it pops up in my mind from time to time.
I was always interested in this adventure with very 16-bit gorgeous environments and personality, Octopus City Blues, it seems like it really ain't coming anymore.

Edit: Whoa, they actually posted some progress though:

Ah. Yikes. It's too bad Ni no Kuni II wasn't a better game. I feel like if they had done better with that, like the first one, it'd have a longer tail, for sales.
This is embarrassing, and the fact that a former Valve employee responded to you is just icing on the cake.
Yeah. I thought about this game the other day because I remembered EZA pushing it pretty hard when it was announced. It looked like it had a lot of potential. Bummer.
I mean…yeah. Nobody's expecting it to be released at the same time the version announced in 2017 was originally planned to be delivered. Exactly zero people in Nintendo threads are like "MP4 is totes coming out in 2020, amirite?!"
That doesn't mean that it's cancelled, any more than it means FFVIIR (which also switched development studios and was released years later than originally anticipated) was cancelled.
I am starting to seriously wonder and worry about this one. I love me some Psychonauts.
It might be silently rebooted as an open world battle Royal game? Free to play
If anything, I think MS is intending to use it for a cross-gen XSX "launch title," not cancel it.
Don't if anyone remembers it, but a game called Seasons of Heaven, which was announced in 2016 as a Switch exclusive, and was quite reported back then.
It's been awhile since they last talked about it. I think it's either in development hell or canned. Which is sad, that game was beautiful to see.

While I don't think it's cancelled, there's no way Respawn's Medal of Honor is making a 2020 release.
I thought they already confirmed launching it on XBOX ONE and PS4?
