Half-Life 2
After five years of secret development, this PC super-sequel went from rumour to reality at E3 2003, to be followed by a September release. But missing that date was only the start of the bad news: next, the game's code was stolen from Valve's network by a hacker (who revealed its very incomplete state), and a legal battle with the game's publisher threatened further delays even when it was finally finished. It arrived in November 2004.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth battle director says combining everything he learned on Monster Hunter: World with Square Enix's technology and unique skills created a "chemical reaction"
"Minutes after Palworld released," Pocketpair was already getting game pitches from "some really big names" before it even set up its own publisher: "No one has money at the moment"
