While there’s constant effort to document the cancelled games from major production regions of Japan, America and parts of Europe, you rarely hear about the games released on the other side of the globe. The other side of the globe? What do you mean, you’ll say. Well, to be specific, the Middle East, MENA regions.
You’d be surprised to find out that for every 10 games released there, hundreds were cancelled. Many that are now lost to time. You’d also be surprised to find out that those games were on par in quality with games from Russia/Ukraine. At times, maybe better.
The game we have today is Heroic: A 3D action-adventure that was in development by Timeline Interactive from Egypt. The game ran on the Unreal Engine 3, and it promised a multiplayer cooperative mode (up to four players in-game) where players could run around, defeating enemies, jumping from one platform (or falling to their doom together) and a couple of puzzles to spice things up.
The game featured 4 different classes for you to choose from, and if this didn’t pique your interest, the developers planned to make use of your own avatar in-game. How cool was that?
While the game looked interesting, it was never released due to the lack of an interested publisher. In the end, the game was cancelled in 2009. Some of the developers who worked on this game went on to work on Ark: Survival Evolved.
