Sega has announced that Hyenas, the hero-based extraction shooter under development at Creative Assembly, has been canceled. It was supposed to be released in 2023 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S and was playable for the public during gamescom 2023.

Staff at Creative Assembly were told about the cancellation of Hyenas at 9am BST on September 28, 2023, according to two GLHF sources, giving them no additional time to prepare for the news. Some employees found out at the same time as the public.

Due to falling profits in the European region, we are reviewing the portfolio of titles developed in Europe, and Hyenas as well as some unannounced titles have now been canceled,”We will be reviewing the reduction of games developed in Europe going forward.

Sega stated in an official communiqué as translated by GLHF’s Georgina Young.

Makes sense. Better to cancel it than sending it to die

GaaS garbage. Game looked like a disgrace from the start. Shame the studio that built Alien Isolation was driven to work on this.

That's what happens when you live on Game Pass money because you devalued your own worth. Nobody is buying Sega games anymore. They're worthless.

Their announcement that the next two Yakuza games are going to Game Pass on day one guaranteed that I won't pay for them on PS5, and I bought the After Hours Edition set of Yakuza 6, so good work, SEGA idiots!

I thought it was a heist game like Payday and not an extraction shooter
