, which didn’t give a concrete reason for why Tencent was backing out of the project but said may be related to the high-profile ******** of Sony’s live-service FPS Concord. Insider Gaming reports the “higher-ups” at ******* Elite developer Rebellion implied during meetings with staff that Tencent may have become “skittish” about live-service projects after Concord’s disastrous launch: a misfire that ultimately led to its developer, Firewalk Studios, shutting down.

Code-named Project Archipelago but internally referred to as ******* Island, the battle royale would have had ******* teams of three battling to become the last squad standing as part of what Rebellion labeled as a “new IP.” Early alpha playtests for the game happened in August, shortly after the game was announced.

GameSpot reached out to Rebellion for comment and will update if we receive a response. According to Insider Gaming, no one is being ***** off as part of the cancellation. Those who were working on Project Archipelago have been moved to other projects. One of those projects is ******* Elite: Resistance, the next main entry in the long-running third-person-shooter franchise slated to release in January.

******* Elite: Resistance will feature a campaign that runs in parallel to that of ******* Elite 5, as players infiltrate occupied France during World War 2 as part of the French resistance. In addition to a campaign mode, the game also features 16-player multiplayer and a three-player survival mode. It additionally brings back the fan-favorite Axis Invasion mode, where those playing campaign can opt in to have ****** players infiltrate the opposing forces’ ranks (or do the infiltrating themselves), raising the stakes of the game’s *******-centric battles.
