Argonaut's Malice, Orchid Cancelled

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Gamesindustry.biz report that Argonaut's flagship title, Malice, has been cancelled by publisher Vivendi Universal. This 3D platform title was one of the first ever demonstrated for the Xbox, during Bill Gates' 2001 unveiling of the console, and had more recently added a PS2 version, plus Gwen Stefani of No Doubt's voice for the lead character. The former Starfox developer "..does hope to find a new deal for the game [Malice]", so we may still see it eventually. Also in Argonaut's disappointing news was the fact that their 3D beat-em-up Orchid has been cancelled by Namco - though Namco are still publishing their quirky I-Ninja action title.

In related news, President Bush has labeled Argonaut a terrorist organization and has authorized the siezure of all their assets. Argonaut's CEO could not be reached for comment after being hospitalized due to what police are calling "A wicked kick to the nuts by an unknown assailant."
