It’s said the title – which was codenamed ‘Viking’ – was originally set to be released this year as part of Sony and Microsoft’s next generation console lineup, but timescales changing meant the project was allegedly shelved.
Kotaku reports:
“EA Vancouver spent some time designing ideas and prototypes for Viking, and Criterion came aboard soon afterward [but] that was when the problems started…
“Although Criterion was, on paper, the lead studio, the logistical challenges of cross-country game development made that a difficult proposition.
“As one person involved with the game said,'”too many cooks’ was a running theme.”
It means the potential game is the third ‘Star Wars’ title to be cancelled, including Amy Hennig’s Ragtag and EA Vancouver’s Orca.
