2025 has been brutal for game dev, with 17 titles chopped midstream thanks to soaring budgets, market swings and corporate shake-ups. Headliners include Transformers: Reactivate (Splash Damage), two mystery PlayStation live-service projects at Bend and Bluepoint, and the much-hyped follow-up Earthblade from the Celeste team—canceled after an IP spat. Even stalwarts weren’t spared: Football Manager 25 skipped its first release in 21 years, and Warner Bros. pulled the plug on Monolith’s Wonder Woman amid studio closures.

Beyond those big names, Respawn quietly axed an unannounced multiplayer FPS and a new Titanfall entry during EA layoffs, while Square Enix scrapped its GPS-powered Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link mobile game, admitting it couldn’t deliver a long-term service fans would love. It’s a stark reminder that even projects with years of hype can vanish overnight.
