List of cancelled PlayStation 2 games
Title(s) Notes/Reasons Developer Publisher
100 Bullets A video game adaption of the 100 Bullets comic book series was announced by Acclaim Entertainment for release on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. This version of the game was cancelled amid Acclaim's financial troubles in the mid-2000s. D3 Publisher obtained the rights to the franchise shortly after, and announced plans to release an unrelated game in the franchise for a variety of platforms, though none of those versions ever materialized either. The comic's primary writer, Brian Azzarello, later explained that the developers had trouble translating the comic's story into the video game format.[1][2] Acclaim Studios Austin Acclaim Entertainment

The game was also planned to feature 80 different pre-made bots, roughly half of which originated from the show, along with multiple arenas and four-player multiplayer support. Players could use a dual analog control scheme to operate each of a bot's treads individually, or an alternate simplified control scheme using only one analog stick. The game was scheduled for a November 2002 release on PlayStation 2 and GameCube, but failed to materialize, presumably due to the show's cancellation. A prototype of the game was later discovered in 2022.[10][11][12] Warthog Games THQ
Battlestations: Midway Originally planned for release on PlayStation 2, Xbox, and Gizmondo, all three versions were cancelled after publisher SCi Games dropped the game. It was later picked up by Eidos Interactive, who released the game in 2007 for Xbox 360 and PC.[13] SCi Games

However, the game was cancelled due to SNK facing bankruptcy at the time. As a result of changes brought on by SNK's financial situation, a team of roughly 20 staff members left the company to join Capcom, and decided to repurpose the assets created for Capcom vs. SNK 3 into a new project. This became Capcom Fighting All-Stars, a 3D crossover fighter featuring characters from multiple Capcom properties, including Street Fighter, Rival Schools, and Final Fight, along with original characters and a guest character from SNK's The King of Fighters.
