Xbox's Canceled Project Ranger Was Meant To Challenge Uncharted - Report
The article discusses a canceled Xbox project called "Project Ranger," which was meant to be Microsoft's answer to the popular Uncharted series. Developed by Blue Tusk Studios (later rebranded as The Collective), Project Ranger was a third-person action shooter with a spy theme, inspired by the Mission: Impossible and James Bond franchises. The game was set to feature missions in cities around the world and incorporate Kinect functionality for voice controls. However, the project was never on solid footing and was ultimately canceled in 2014 when Microsoft acquired the Gears of War franchise and tasked The Collective with working exclusively on that series. The article also mentions that Microsoft's reboot of the Perfect Dark franchise, which was in development by The Initiative and Crystal Dynamics, was also canceled earlier this year amid wider layoffs at the company.
