Kotaku is claiming, from “multiple sources” that Final Fantasy Versus XIII is cancelled.
Apparently the game was officially cancelled within the “last few weeks” and the decision has impacted morale at the developers Square Enix. Indeed, the rumour states that the game will be left to “die quietly on the vine and fade away” rather than getting an official cancellation announcement.
The game has only ever been seen in the form of occasional trailers and screenshots, despite being announced six years ago.
The same site suggests that the development and resources behind Versus XIII have been “folded into another game” – Final Fantasy XV, although it’s not clear what this actually entails.
“Whether it’s been cancelled entirely or had resources absorbed into a newer, larger project, the game we once knew as Final Fantasy Versus XIII would seem to be no more,” says Kotaku.
“We have no information on the status of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, but will be sure to update you as it becomes available,” is the current official line from Square Enix.

This is devastating news.
This better mean that either FFXV or Kingdom Hearts 3 is coming out very soon!

Well that’s a right bugger. I was looking forward to Versus more than I was XIII (with good reason, as it turned out). Here’s hoping Squeenix learn from fan feedback and make FFXV a blinder.

Square Enix are pure CR*P this Gen :-/

Imo, they are not pure crap. DE:HR is one of their best games this generation. Much better then FF13 which barely qualifies as a FF game and the very rubbish FF13-2(I call it rubbish because it murdered the chocobo song and i’m that petty). :)

Correction…..Deus Ex is an Eidos game not a Square Enix game. They just put their stamp on it cuz they bought Eidos shortly before this was released

NOOO!!!
I was only just reading about this in the last issue of Game Informer…
I’m calling that story isn’t true, if only because I can’t face up to the opposite hypothesis.
