Cipher Complex is an action game that was created for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 by Edge of Reality Games. The game was going to be published by SEGA, but in mid 2009 (after 3 years of work) it seems that they decided to stop the development, as noted in the resume of a former employer of the studio. In the original press release we can still read the main plot that was going to be used in the game:
U.S. surveillance satellites detect activity onboard the decommissioned Soviet Bargration Missile Defense Station 4 off the east coast of Siberia. When the Russians deny the U.S. access to the facility, Department of Defense strategists suggest that a small, plausibly deniable reconnaissance mission be sent in to investigate. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is given the go-ahead for operation BLACKOUT, the insertion of a single expert Operator on Russian WMDs and launch facilities. Lt. Col. John Sullivan, callsign: Cipher is air dropped in, and what was supposed to be primarily a reconnaisance mission becomes a race against a terrorist threat; one with implications that will shake the foundations of American democracy and freedoms.
It’s still unknown if this game will really be cancelled or it could be resurrected somehow.
