Harker put on 'indefinite hold'

Now that we think about it, we haven't heard a peep about The Collective's next-gen vampire-hunting sim
Harker (as in Jonathan Harker, protagonist of Bram Stoker's Dracula, the book based on the movie based on the Sega CD game of the same name) in quite a while. We'd assumed things had been put on the backburner since the dev – recently merged with Shiny and
rebranded Double Helix – is busy working on
Silent Hill Homecoming for Konami, but parent-company Foundation 9 tells Eurogamer the title "has been put on indefinite hold."
While that's certainly good news for virtual 19th century fin de siècle vampires galavanting about eastern Europe, it's bad news for those of us with fond memories of The Collective's earlier 21st century vampire-killing sim,
Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It's also the second time in as many years that a project on the developer's plate has been pulled. Remember
the Dirty Harry game? Well, do ya?
