Webzen cancels Endless Saga

A recent rumor indicated that the promising PS3 MMORPG Endless Saga by Webzen (also developer of Huxley) has been cancelled; a direct inquiry at the company has sadly confirmed this now. Webzen decided to shelve the game after a “rigorous development effort”, coming to the conclusion that the gameplay was “short of innovation and creativity we seek to achieve in online gaming space”.
While this may come as a shock for anyone hoping to eventually play this new fantasy MMO project on a next-gen console, if the reason for the cancellation was the game’s quality, we’re possibly better off without it.

In addition, Webzen promises after completing their current projects, they “still have a plan to enter into PS3 market and I’ll let you know when we’re prepared to bring something more valuable and fun to PS3 gamers.”

Endless Saga was slated for a release in 2007 on Playstation 3 and PC, promising a colorful fantasy world based on the Unreal 3 engine. Apparently, the game still was in early development stages, with only one screenshot and a short video released to the public so far.
