The Getaway and Eight Days PS3 cancelled

June 4, 2008 | Author: play-beyond | Filed under: Games

Sony has announced that production has ceased on forthcoming PlayStation 3 titles The Getaway and 8 Days, both previously in early stages of development at the company’s London Studios.

According to Sony’s official statement, “It has been agreed that production of both 8 Days and The Getaway will cease immediately due to the redistribution of resources and budget. This decision was made following an internal review of all games and it was deemed that with the incredibly strong list of exclusive first party titles coming up both this year and in the near future, resource should be reallocated to enhance those projects closer to completion.”

Both games were originally unveiled in tech demo form at Sony’s 2005 E3 press conference and little has been heard on either title since. Expect to hear even less, henceforth.
