Sega's Ambitious Online Shooter Hyenas Cancelled Despite Record Budget and Involvement from Neill Blomkamp

Hyenas was allegedly Sega's biggest budget game ever, even more than Shenmue.

The game suffered from lack of direction and leadership issues according to developers.

Hyenas went through major changes, from premium to free-to-play with microtransactions.

Film director Neill Blomkamp provided feedback on the game's tone and direction.

Despite the high budget, Hyenas was cancelled recently leading to job losses beyond the game's team.
