People Can Fly Cancels Project Dagger After Years of Development

The Polish game developer has halted the co-op action RPG, citing unsatisfactory commercial potential and strategic shifts in development plans.

  • People Can Fly has officially canceled Project Dagger, a co-op action RPG initially set to be published by Take-Two.
  • The decision follows a re-evaluation of the game's development direction and commercial viability, leading to substantial financial write-offs.
  • The cancellation avoids a potential $20 million payment to Take-Two, required if the game had been released.
  • Despite this setback, People Can Fly continues to work on five other projects, including titles for major publishers like Square Enix and Microsoft.
  • The studio has faced layoffs and a reshaping of its development strategy, focusing on a mix of AA and AAA titles.
