Paladin (Midway Studios Austin) [PC/PS3/Xbox 360 – Cancelled]

Paladin is a cancelled open world Action medieval game developed around 2007-2008 by Midway Studios Austin (formerly Inevitable Entertainment) and published by Midway Games for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms. The game was using the Unreal Engine 3.

For years, few information were available regarding Paladin as it was cancelled before being announced. On his personal website, Richie Romero, who were Art Director at Midway until the closure of the company, shared screenshots and videos to what appears to be an action game set in the medieval times with open world elements. During that period, Midway Studios Austin was split in two teams, both working on different projects: Paladin, and Career Criminal, which was cancelled in August 2008, following publisher’s huge financial loss.

While no official announcement were made during its development, we can speculate that Paladin was cancelled back in December 2008, when the studio was closed by Midway which still faced financial difficulties:

Facing possible bankruptcy, Midway games will close its Austin studio entirely, suspend development on several unspecified titles, and reduce its workforce by 25 percent. (…) Midway did not list which projects it plans to cancel or suspend, but calls them “non-core” projects slated for 2010 and 2011 that had not yet been announced. (…)

Alongside Paladin and Career Criminal, Midway’s bankruptcy also led to the cancellations of various projects such as Stranglehold 2: Gun Runner, This is Vegas, Hero or even a new take on Mortal Kombat.
