Sega's Canceled 'Hyenas' FPS Cost Over $70M in Development Hell

Report claims Sega's recently canceled Hyenas was its most expensive game ever, topping Shenmue's $70 million budget.

Hyenas was a sci-fi multiplayer FPS being developed by Creative Assembly, envisioned as Sega's Destiny/PUBG.

Sources say lack of direction, mid-development engine change, and management issues led to Hyenas' cancellation.

Sega Japan executives were closely monitoring the project before it got axed, unusual for Creative Assembly.

Originally planned as premium title, Hyenas pivoted to F2P before betas left Sega unhappy, prompting cancellation.
