(hx) 10:33 PM CET - Nov,20 2015
- Post a comment Versus Evil's Afro Samurai 2 has been cancelled, with further installments of the episodic game canned and the first episode pulled from Steam entirely. It's all down to the game being, well, a bit rubbish really. Because of all the negative press, Versus Evil have decided to stop development. Speaking to CG Mag Online, general manager of Versus Evil, Steve Escalante, explained the company's position and how they had to make the hard decision to cancel the other two volumes due to quality control:
The game was a failure. We could not do, in good conscience, volume 2 and volume 3. So we've begun the process, it's been a long process to figure it out because Sony has never really had to do this in this way, but we're returning all the money. So across the board we’re putting out an apology saying "sorry about this."
We're Versus Evil; a company perspective, from a partnership perspective and now we have to do it from a consumer perspective. So we pulled it down, because we didn't want to exacerbate it anymore and then we're refunding the money.
