Renegade Kid’s Dracula project cancelled

Renegade Kid, the developers behind the recent DS FPS title Moon, announced on Thursday that their Dracula project is no longer in development. A few months ago, the company revealed that a Dracula game was being created, with no mention of the platform it would release for. Though nothing was stated explicitly, most assumed that the title would be for the Wii. Most recently, it was hinted on an episode of IGN’s Nintendo Voice Chat that the game had ceased development. There is a bright side to this recent news – Renegade Kid says that the title could be resurrected in the future and that the team is working on a new secret project.

“Some of you may have heard about a secret “Dracula” game that we signed with Gamecock in 2008. It brings us no pleasure to announce that it is no longer in development. The official title of the game is Son of the Dragon. The intellectual property is still owned by Renegade Kid. Should an opportunity to resurrect Son of the Dragon present itself in the future, you will be the first to know…The Renegade Kid team is hard at work on a new secret game, which will be announced in 2009. The entire team is extremely excited about our new title, and we look forward to sharing more information with you about it soon.” – Renegade Kid website
