Sega’s Hyenas was a highly anticipated video game that was set to be released in 2003. Unfortunately, the game was cancelled and never saw the light of day. The game was being developed by Neil Blomkamp, who is best known for his work on the movie District 9. In this article, we will take a look at the reasons why the game failed and how Neil Blomkamp’s involvement played a role in its demise.

The game was initially announced in 2002 and was set to be released in 2003. It was a first-person shooter that was set in a post-apocalyptic world. Players were to take on the role of a mercenary who was hired to take out a group of hyenas that had taken over the world. The game was set to feature a unique art style and a unique storyline. Unfortunately, the game never made it past the development stage and was eventually cancelled.

So what went wrong? According to reports, the game was cancelled due to budget constraints. Sega had already invested a lot of money into the project and it was becoming increasingly clear that the game would not be able to make back its investment. As a result, Sega decided to pull the plug on the project and focus on other games instead.

Neil Blomkamp’s involvement in the project also played a role in its failure. Blomkamp was brought in to help with the game’s art direction and story. However, his ideas for the game were reportedly too ambitious and expensive for Sega’s budget. As a result, his ideas were not implemented and the game was eventually cancelled.

In conclusion, Sega’s Hyenas was a highly anticipated video game that never saw the light of day. The game failed due to budget constraints and Neil Blomkamp’s involvement in the project also played a role in its failure. While it is unfortunate that the game never made it past the development stage, it is still interesting to look back at what could have been.
