The game received many names during development, including the Knights of Utu when it was first marketed to Sony as a PlayStation 2 game in 2000. When set to move forward on the Xbox, it was called the Archipelago before becoming a Knight of Decaden.
Like Totally Games’ Star Wars: X-Wing, the Knights of Decayden focused on flying combat, but seemed to “exchange X-Wings for flying beasts.” Set in the original fantasy world, “Players control knights with flying seahorses, long-range battles with other knights and monsters, slow-motion jousts with spears, and fight sea creatures. Engaged in underwater diving for. “
The Knights of Decayden has both single-player story mode and multiplayer, and the original proposal to Sony was for executives to “go on a joust in the skyscraper-like islands above the shining ocean. Imagine doing that. “
Within a year of the system’s launch in 2001, the Knights of Decayden was planned to be available exclusively for the Xbox from “an operation called Studio X that focuses on partnerships between Microsoft and external gaming teams.”
Unfortunately, it was canceled in early 2002 and was “an early victim of Microsoft’s efforts to enter the console market and create games comparable to the output of PlayStation, Nintendo, and Sega.”
The Netherlands called the project “incredibly ambitious and just as stupid,” saying that the process of finding the perfect flight combat and creating a new world is too big a challenge to overcome. Said.
Crunch was also a big factor, and the need for the team to impress Microsoft’s game managers, who are said to have little “experience in trusting developers,” didn’t help either. One of these bosses was said to have once managed an Excel spreadsheet program.
“I agreed to a very aggressive schedule, probably for financial reasons, and to prevent my organization and company from having to dismiss large numbers of people,” said the Netherlands. ..
Axios saw the Knights of Decaden because of Phil Spencer’s profile. Phil Spencer had one of his first missions when joining the Xbox game team to “cancel the Larry Holland game.”
