The Canceled Cover Games

Given that Game Informer has featured over 350 games on its cover, it’s somewhat remarkable that very few of them were canceled before release. Only five titles suffered this unfortunate yet noteworthy fate, and you can read about them here. If your curiosity is piqued, you can learn even more about what these games could have been by reading their full cover stories on our digital magazine archive at gameinformer.com/magazine.

StarCraft: Ghost

This third-person stealth-action spin-off of Blizzard’s popular RTS series is one of the most famous canceled games of all time. It starred Nova, a warrior who battled enemies using various weapons and hand-to-hand combat, while most notably using a cloaking device to sneak undetected. Announced in 2002 and repeatedly delayed to the point of being deemed vaporware, Blizzard finally confirmed Ghost’s demise in 2014.
