New Cancelled Games & Their Lost Media Added to the Archive

Project Enwor [Xbox 360 – Cancelled]

Project Enwor was a large-scale third person shooter that was in development at Digital Anvil for the Xbox 360. They were working on this prototype at the same time as Freelancer 2, but neither of them were finished. In November 2005, Microsoft redeployed the Digital Anvil’s employees to its Microsoft Game Studios headquarters: the original DA team was officially dissolved on January 31 2006 and Project Enwor vanished along the way.

In september 2018 MrTalida shared the full design doc for the game on Twitter, full of details about the project.

Castle Crashers is a side-scrolling beat-em-up developed by The Behemoth, which incorporates a small number of role-playing game elements. An early version of Castle Crashers was first shown at Comic-Con 2005 under the name of Ye Olde Side-Scroller, while at another show it was named “The Behemoth’s Next Game”. In this beta version the character design for the protagonists was different and even the levels had some changes before the final release. In 2006, Behemoth announced the game as available for download via the Xbox Live Arcade service.
