Late last month, it was revealed that Creative Assembly and Sega had decided to cancel , a shooter that we compared to both Payday and Apex Legends after we got to play it at Gamescom. At the time, we didn't get a whole lot of details about the cancellation, but Volound and VGC have plenty of details to share about the whole thing, which includes things like poor management, a mismanaged game engine switch, unwillingness to take any risks and a general lack of direction. But there is another thing that stands out the most in the report, as it turns out was Sega's most expensive game ever - including Shenmue which for a long time was the most expensive game ever.
