Every Video Game Canceled in 2025 tallies 17 confirmed cancellations so far, driven by everything from bloated budgets and shifting market priorities to studio shake-ups and creative hiccups. Big publishers are tightening belts—Sony axed two unannounced PlayStation live-service titles while EA and Warner Bros. shook up Respawn and Monolith, respectively, as part of larger layoffs and restructurings.
Standouts include Transformers: Reactivate (Splash Damage’s mystery shutdown), Earthblade (Extremely OK’s IP squabble and slow progress), the first-ever skip of Football Manager’s annual release, Wonder Woman (Monolith’s follow-up to Middle-earth), unannounced Respawn FPS and Titanfall projects, plus Kingdom Hearts Missing-Link (Square Enix citing long-term service concerns).
