10 Video Games That Just Got Cancelled
6. Project Gravity
SSX was for snowboarding what Tony Hawk's was for skateboarding - a truly thrilling, fun-as-hell digital translation of the sport which flourished during the extreme sports heyday of the early 2000s.
Yet the series has laid dormant since 2012's reboot SSX, which despite positive reviews debuted to soft sales, likely due to the general decline in snowboarding's popularity from the 2010s onward.
All the same, in 2021 SSX Tricky producer Steven Rechtschaffner revealed that he was working on Project Gravity - a spiritual successor to the SSX franchise.
The game, developed by his studio Supernatural Studios and to be published by 2K, was a free-to-play live service snowboarding game.
As much as that descriptor invited justified skepticism, if that was price to pay for a new SSX-like, then so be it. Except, a recent IGN report revealed that 2K has dropped their support of the project, in turn causing its cancellation.
Given the lack of commercial success found by recent snowboarding-centric games like Steep and Riders Republic, it may simply be a case of 2K not feeling confident in Project Gravity's financial prospects - especially as a free-to-play title in an era where live service games are flopping left and right.
