10 Hyped Video Games In Development (That Will Never Be Released)

Star Citizen was perhaps the most ambitious Kickstarter project ever to seek crowd funding. Promising an enhanced, elaborate space sim experience which might put the likes of Eve Online or Elite Dangerous to shame, Cloud Imperium Games may have set the bar a bit too high with the lofty standards they set back in 2012.

The game has, in some form, been playable in an alpha state for quite some time, and a relatively dedicated community has grown around the admittedly immersive experience. The issue of a final release date persists, however, and, given that the game isn't likely to come out of alpha any time soon, it may be safe to chalk it up as a title sentenced to languish in an eternal state of early access.

To some, that may be acceptable, and titanic games like Minecraft and Ark: Survival Evolved gained fame despite spending years upon years in an unfinished state. It's difficult to predict if this will be the fate of Star Citizen, and some Kickstarter backers have long been tired of the title's messy development cycle.
