Cancelled First-Person Metroidvania, Tribes Clone (Patreon)

Keeping up with our painful queue of lost games waiting to be remembered, we added 2 cancelled games in the Unseen64 archive:

Future Killer [PC]:a cancelled sci-fi FPS that was in development around 2004 – 2006 by Futrix Studios, a team funded by former Ritual Entertainment level designer Thearrel McKinney. It would have probably been similar to other sci-fi horror titles such as Doom 3 and Resistance: Fall of Man, plus light “metroidvania” mechanics and featuring creepy alien enemies and teammates who could help or betray you https://www.unseen64.net/2020/05/14/future-killer-futrix-studios-cancelled/

Ascension [PC]: a cancelled community-based online FPS that was in development around 2006 – 2007 by RenWerX, a team previously known for a few popular Tribes mods. By looking at footage and screenshots available it seems the game would have indeed been inspired by Tribes, with huge maps, jetpacks and vehicles in team VS team online matches: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/05/13/ascension-volitant-assault-cancelled/
