This is the first in a series of posts with the motto "Whatever Happened To...?", followed by the name of a game that has been out of the limelight for some time (but is not "dead").
Tonight we examine WarDevil, a game many people may not have even heard of. It was first announced in December 2004 for release in 2005, and actually sparked rumors that a next Xbox was in development. Well, soon after that the Xbox 360 was officially announced, but 2005 came and went with no WarDevil. It was shown at E3 2006, and then followed by a two-year-long silence, until the latest trailer in 2008 was shown, which touted the title as a PS3 exclusive for release in the first half of 2009... of course, this was later changed; the game soon became multi-platform (and was re-named "Project Kane" somewhere along the way), and was supposed to be released in the second half of 2009. This, again, did not happen, and the game was officially canceled in October 2010. Next month, in November 2010, the game was officially un-canceled and slapped with a release window of Q4 2011.
Here is the 2004 trailer:
Here is the trailer from E3 2006:
And here is trailer from 2008, the last we saw of the game:
WarDevil/Project Kane/Whateverthenextnamewillbe is so far off everybody's radar that IGN has it listed in their "Graveyard" section of games, which lists titles that the editors believe will never see the light of day. GameTrailers doesn't even have an entry for it; neither does Wikipedia. The trailers show possibility of an interesting action game, hopefully one that will soon see the light of day. Now that Duke Nukem Forever is actually being released, these people have no excuse. Give us WarDevil, or give us - uh... huh. Yeah, never mind.
