Renegade Kid is known in the horror genre for Dementium: The Ward. Interestingly enough, that game was originally pitched as a potential Silent Hill title for DS.
On Twitter earlier today, Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham said:

Our goal was always to release The Ward as an original game, but we were also open to the idea of turning it into a licensed horror game and approached Konami to see if they wanted to work together to mold it into a Silent Hill game for the Nintendo DS.
They were kind enough to meet with us, but the meeting only lasted a few minutes and ended with their [representative] saying they wouldn’t let a team like us handle the Silent Hill license.

That was Renegade Kid’s first pitch in 2007. The studio reached out to Konami again a few years later, with a new pitch based on the Dementium II engine. Sadly, Konami still wasn’t open to the idea.
“Konami’s response that time wasn’t dismissive like the first time,” Watsham mentioned to IGN. “They simply didn’t want to venture into the DS space with a horror title at that time.”

You may recall that a story surfaced in mid-2013 about a cancelled Mega Man X first-person shooter tentatively titled “Maverick Hunter”. This project was being worked on by Armature Studio – a team comprised of staffers who previously worked on Metroid Prime. There were plans for a trilogy, but the game was cancelled in 2010 after just a few months of development.

Maverick Hunter is back in the news today, as new images have been discovered on artist Jaehoon Kim’s website. Take a look at them in the gallery below.
