Renowned game developers Warren Spector and Paul Neurath, known for their work on iconic titles such as Deus Ex and System Shock 2, are facing a significant setback at their studio OtherSide Entertainment. The company has announced the cancellation of its highly anticipated multiplayer immersive sim, Argos: Riders on the Storm, which has led to the layoffs of 17 staff members.

This move comes as a surprise, given the studio's pedigree and the potential of the canceled project. According to a spokesperson, the team believes Argos could have achieved huge success under normal circumstances, implying that current market conditions may have contributed to the decision.
