The new year 2022 is here, and we already have many awesome video games on the way. But some of these games are actually quite late to the party. Whatever the cause was, be it internal conflicts, financial woes, or even premature cancellations, these upcoming games ended up missing their intended launch dates and have been M.I.A. for several years.
However, some of those games have been miraculously thrust back into the spotlight as they are chartering for new releases this year and beyond. Here is a shortlist of such lucky titles.
‘Beyond Good & Evil 2’ (TBA)
Ever since ‘Beyond Good & Evil’ became a pariah back in 2003, its fans had been playing a new game called “Don’t blink or you’ll miss the sequel’s announcement.’ For several years, they scour the internet for clues on its development. But nothing seemed to click outright. That’s because development had fallen into the pits of hell. Fortunately, ‘Beyond Good & Evil 2’ was finally revealed at E3 2017, though it is a prequel to the original game, albeit its title.
‘Dead Island 2’ (TBA)
The sequel to one of the best zombie survival horror games had devolved into a joke that writes itself. ‘Dead Island 2’ saw its initial development, an endeavor that started as far back in 2014, likened to a pinball machine as it was being passed around from studio to studio with no end in sight. The project was bounced between four studios, starting from Yager Development in 2012 only to be passed over to Sumo Digital, Dambuster, and finally to Deep Silver in 2019.
