Blizzard's canceled survival game had been in development for over 6 years, was highly praised by employees

Two young figures look over a lush fantasy landscape which includes a floating castle. Behind them, a dark path leads to a city of modern skyscrapers.

Blizzard's unnamed survival game had already been in development for over four years when it was announced in early 2022. Its team doubled in size that year with plans to grow even more in 2023. Now, after over six years of total development time and positive responses to the project from current and former Blizzard employees, the game has been canceled by Microsoft and its developers are out of jobs.

"I've been let go from Blizzard, along with many many others on the Survival team," wrote Matt London, the game's former associate narrative director, on X today.
