UK developer Creative Assembly will refocus on making real-time strategy games following the cancellation of online extraction shooter Hyenas.
In a presentation to investors, Creative Assembly owner Sega admitted that the Hyenas project had been an attempt to accelerate the studio’s growth – even though the game’s genre lay outside the developer’s usual area of expertise.
Hyenas was cancelled in September after years in development and a public demo at Gamescom only weeks before. The decision to cancel the project resulted in layoffs at Creative Assembly, with the majority of the project’s team believed to be at risk.
