Announced, Delayed, Disappeared: The Games Still In Limbo https://ift.tt/js6RUQv The days of relatively short development cycles for big-budget AAA games feels like a distant memory, as it's not uncommon for titles to spend many years in development. These days, a five-year production cycle isn't uncommon at all, and some games take the better part of a decade to be released. Such lengthy waits aren't intrinsically bad, as games like Crimson Desert and Doom 2016 were worth the wait. But right now?
