Infinity Blade: Dungeons shelved

Epic Games has confirmed that Infinity Blade: Dungeons is not just "on hold" but cancelled altogether.

Thew news comes from Chair Entertainment creative director Donald Mustard, via a recent Epic Games podcast.

"It was a concept that originated from Epic and was an idea that we were happy to support. But when the studio working on [Dungeons] was closed, the game was canceled. That's really all I can say," Mustard said, as transcribed by Gamespot.

The studio Mustard mentioned is Impossible Studios, formerly known as Epic Baltimore, a team formed when Epic hired a significant number of the staff laid off in the closure of 38 Studios and Big Huge Games. It lasted just six months before being closed without explanation.

Mustard said Chair Entertainment still has plans for the Infinity Blade universe.

An action RPG, Infinity Blade: Dungeons was announced in early 2010 at the reveal of the latest iPad, having been thought up at a game jam and shoehorned into the fantasy RPG property.
