Remember Creative Assembly’s HYENAS? You know, the multiplayer sci-fi FPS that looked like nothing you’d expect from a Creative Assembly game? Well, SEGA has just announced its cancelation.
As SEGA stated in a press release.
“In response to the lower profitability of the European region, we have reviewed the title portfolio of each development base in Europe and the resulting action will be to cancel “HYENAS” and some unannounced titles under development.”
In HYENAS, players were meant to team up with their pack to steal priceless pop culture loot from the Mars billionaires and rival crews. Creative Assembly claimed that this wouldn’t be a Battle Royale game. However, it appeared that CA and SEGA were after the “hero shooter” crowd.
To be honest, I’m glad that SEGA has canceled this game. Similar to Arkane’s Redfall, this isn’t what most of Creative Assembly’s fans want from the team. Just give us a sequel to Alien: Isolation or a new horror FPS game. And, if the team is unable to recapture that thunder, then at least focus on what you know best; developing new strategy games.
Lastly, SEGA will release Creative Assembly’s Total War: PHARAOH in October 2023.
Stay tuned for more!

The same bullshit like The Club.
I still remember how horrible the gun sounds were in that game.
It is nice to see that someone remembers that game.
lol
Good, they should’ve done an Aliens 2.
that flopped too.
Sits at a 92 score on Steam and won several GOTY awards. Meanwhile we really didn’t need another live service hero shooter.
Media praise means nothing if the sales are weak. Alien was considered a “cult hit” for many years, people only gave a sh*t in 2016~17. Compared to “hyenas”, of course this sequel would be the better choice (such a low bar, any crappy idea sounds better than “hyenas”)… but you know what is even better? Warhammer, the IP who is literally sustaining CA all these years, why not invest back on it, making the games bigger and better? Nope, they used the Warhammer money on other stuff, here we are
the sales were bad.
Yeah, Alien Isolation 2 would be awesome. The first one was great, and I normally hate horror games.
“In response to the lower profitability of the European region”
why is that though? Could it be because europe doesnt like the woke cringe or because its “too diverse” anyway, creative assembly is trying so hard to expand its games but no one buys anything that isnt a strategy game from them,
I think it’s because CA is bloated with useless staff, which is why this game got announced in the first place.
The same Alien Isolation that flopped at launch? That’s what the ‘fans’ want?
Best decision they’ve ever made
Good! Now ask them to go single player & make Alien Isolation 2.
instead of making alien isolation 2 immersive sequel, they made this……..multiplayer crap sh*t don’t know what to say
Go woke, get cancelled.
Looks like some execs are starting to understand the problem.
Pozzed or not this game was colourfully painted hot garbage, so it had to go.
They burned all the Warhammer money… for nothing, lol the Warhammer “trilogy” sold 30+ million copies (thus far), CA used that money to make weird spin-offs based on “historical” Total War games and, most likely, they used it on Hyenas as well.. and all of these projects fluked. So really, the people responsible should be fired, no question about it. The lower ranks so to speak, the workers responsible for the art, the coding, etc.. they were forced to work on these projects, it will be unfair if they lose their jobs… but really, we all know how late capitalism rolls, the CEO retain power, everybody else get screwed up
Good call. I am pretty sure no one was going to play that dumb a*s game anyway. It would’ve just been like Cliff Bleszinski’s failed game LawBreakers.
HAHAHA
Oh no! Really? Anyway…
