According to industry vet Jake Kazdal, immediately following the completion of <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/rez">Rez</a></em>, a small group of developers at United Game Artists worked on a prototype for <em>Rez 2</em>. Kazdal -- a man who's worked everywhere from Nintendo to Irem to Sega, and is currently developing <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/skulls-of-the-shogun">Skulls of the Shogun</a></em> -- also explained on the <a href="http://8-4.jp/blog/?p=94&amp;lang=en">latest 8-4 Play podcast</a> that another game he worked on, Steven Spielberg's now mythic "<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/project-lmno">Project LMNO</a>," has been cancelled. EA confirmed as much, telling Joystiq this afternoon, "While EA maintains its relationship with Steven Spielberg, we ceased development of <em>LMNO</em>." <br />
<br />
We pushed EA for clarification about the status of <em>any</em> projects in development with Spielberg and were told again, "EA maintains its relationship with Steven Spielberg. EA has ceased development of <em>LMNO</em>. EA continually monitors development resources and adjusts resources as appropriate. No new title announcements."<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/11/report-rez-2-prototype-was-in-the-works-project-lmno-canned/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Report: Rez 2 prototype was in the works, Project LMNO canned</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/11/report-rez-2-prototype-was-in-the-works-project-lmno-canned/">Report: Rez 2 prototype was in the works, Project LMNO canned</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 11 Oct 2010 16:00:00 EST.
