2005 Argonaut
Platforms: PC, Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox
This week we’ve received another surprise submission, with a rare video showcasing gameplay footage from a previously unknown cancelled development of Æon Flux by Argonaut, believed to have been in production around 2005.
Details are very limited at present, but it appears Argonaut may have been working on their own take of the licence before the project was cancelled. It is unclear how far development progressed or why it was stopped, though the footage suggests something fairly substantial may have been underway.
The Æon Flux licence was ultimately picked up by Terminal Reality, who released their own version later in 2005 on Sony PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Xbox to coincide with the film adaptation.
As with the Mission: Impossible discovery, we hope to learn more about this lost Argonaut project over time. If you were involved in its development, we would love to hear from you. It would be fantastic to discover if anything playable has survived.
This page will be updated as more information comes to light. With a huge thank you to the contributor who kindly shared the footage and wishes to remain anonymous – it is very much appreciated.
With thanks to the Anonymous contributor for the video.
