Update: 11/21/21, 10:16 PM ET: A 2K spokesperson provided Kotaku with the following statement:

Publisher 2K Games did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Many of its developers are still working remotely due to the pandemic.

A meeting will be held on Thursday to discuss the future of the firm. Today, it looks like Rhapsody eventually morphed into the Volt.Īs a result of these difficulties, the firm experienced layoffs in 20. Instead he began work on a new IP called Rhapsody, Kotaku reported in 2018, but that project never materialized. The studio expected to make Mafia IV, but those plans were prescribed. The game came out in 2016, but it didn’t reach the Metacritic score or sales figures that parent company Take-Two had hoped for.

Hangar 13 was founded by 2K Games in 2014 and announced Mafia III a year later. The cancellation of the project affects nearly 200 people, sources told Kotaku. “2K also assured me that the company believes H13 can deliver critical and commercial success and that we will start developing future projects soon.” “We are confident that there are plenty of opportunities for H13 employees to work on other games in development, both at H13 and across the label,” he wrote. “I know this is probably a shock, but I wanted you to hear it from me first and provide context.”īlackman wrote that, despite extensive internal testing, Take-Two had determined that the development costs amid the current “industry challenges” would make it “commercially impractical”. “While the Hangar 13 name and working title of Volt are not being shared publicly, T2 announces today that 2K has made the difficult decision to halt development on the project,” studio head and founder Haden Blackman wrote in an email to the staff, according to a copy viewed by Kotaku. The decision to cancel it took some studio developers by surprise and raises concerns about possible layoffs. Sources tell Kotaku that the game was to be a live service, a third-person action game in the wake of Destiny, developed by Hangar 13 called Volt. Take-Two revealed today in its earnings call with investors that it has canceled an unannounced $ 53 million project.
