Quantic Dream, the developer behind 'Detroit: Become Human,' has canceled its live service game 'Project: Live' just three months after its early access launch on February 20, 2026. The game, which was a multiplayer-focused title, failed to gain traction among players, leading to the decision to shut down servers on May 20, 2026.
In a statement released on May 21, 2026, the studio confirmed that 'Project: Live' will no longer receive updates or support. 'We made the difficult decision to end development on Project: Live,' the statement read. 'We are grateful to the players who supported us during early access.'
Despite this setback, Quantic Dream emphasized that 'Star Wars Eclipse,' their highly anticipated narrative-driven game set in the Star Wars universe, 'continues as planned.' The studio reassured fans that the cancellation of 'Project: Live' will not affect the development timeline or scope of 'Star Wars Eclipse,' which is expected to release in 2027.
This cancellation marks a shift for Quantic Dream, known for single-player story experiences, as they attempted to enter the live service market. Industry analysts note that the competitive landscape for live service games has become increasingly challenging, with many titles struggling to maintain player bases.
