ZeniMax Online Studios' sci-fi third-person shooter RPG, codenamed Blackbird, has been shelved indefinitely after recent development progress. Initially met with excitement from Xbox executives, the game featured innovative mechanics like double-jumping and air-dashing within an alien noir world. Planned for a 2028 release, the project had seen expansion to a 300-person development team. Alongside Blackbird, Microsoft also cancelled a fantasy game from Rare and a Perfect Dark reboot, without providing reasons for these cancellations.
The upcoming third-person shooter RPG codenamed Blackbird from ZeniMax Online Studios has been shelved indefinitely, despite Xbox execs being "blown away" by the game.
Blackbird was expected to rival the Destiny franchise with looter-shooter gameplay in an alien noir-themed world, featuring movement-based abilities.
The project was reportedly gaining momentum and was set for release in 2028, after the studio expanded its team to 300 people.
Microsoft cancelled Blackbird, alongside a fantasy game from Rare and a reboot of the Perfect Dark first-person shooter.
