There have been times when a highly anticipated game was announced but something or the other went wrong and it never saw the light of day. We enlist five such PC games for you today, which, if released, would have been groundbreaking games.


5. Engalus



It was September 2000. Crytek, the makers of the now famous CryEngine, announced a new Sci-Fi first person shooter set in a dark 3D world - Engalus. Engalus was said to be powered by the CryEngine 3D technology and featured a richly detailed future world full of madmen, rebels and assassins.



The player character named Jordain is a high-tech assassin agent of the Provisional Government of Earth. His aim is to stop a madman from destroying the universe using an ancient artifact known as the Engalus and for this purpose, he is sent to the edge of the galaxy.



According to Crytek, they expected every scene in this game to feel like it was out of a movie. While the plot looked promising and there were lots of screenshots of this game floating on the internet, for reasons unknown, the project got canceled and in its place, they released Far Cry. We wonder what would it be like, had Engalus been released.

chill, guys! this is about games which were almost made but never released. i do agree that Freedom Fighters was an excellent game, but Freedom Fighters 2 was never in the making, it never made it past the drawing board. so no, this game cannot be in this series. no wonder that there are no videos of that game and no plots whatsoever out
