10 Upcoming Video Games That Will Die At Launch

Name a more iconic duo than publisher Gameloft and shameless cash-grabs.

You might've assumed that their free-to-play kart racer Disney Speedstorm had already been released, given that it's currently in a paid early access period ahead of its full-fat F2P release in September.

And while it's a reasonable expectation that early access titles are a little rough around the edges and iterated upon for the launch proper, given the utter indifference with which the early access release has been received, it's tough to imagine many sticking around for the official rollout.

A shameless Mario Kart clone starring a host of beloved Disney characters could've been a ton of fun, right?

Except, while critics largely praised the central racing mechanics, the game's lack of content, grindy progression, and overabundance of currencies and pay-to-win microtransactions have been near-universally derided.

Combine the lukewarm-at-best early response with the fact that there's hardly anyone playing it barely two months after it entered early access, and even the F2P allure likely won't move the needle much when the final game launches.
