Canceled Sequels
Two more Call of Cthulhu games were announced by Headfirst Productions: Call of Cthulhu: Beyond the Mountains of Madness and Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End. Due to the very long development cycle of Dark Corners of the Earth, which was originally announced to be released in 2001, the both titles were being developed alongside it. They got canceled when the company failed to find a new publisher for them in 2006, resulting in the bankruptcy and liquidation of Headfirst.
Destiny's End, a third-person view, cooperative multiplayer based game for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox, was planned to be a direct sequel to Dark Corners of the Earth, set in the ruins of Innsmouth and in other locations along the coast of New England in modern times, nearly 80 years after the events of the original game. In 2011, UGO.com included it on their list of 25 canceled games that "could have been some of the greatest games of all time."

Famous quotes containing the word canceled:
“There with vast wings across the canceled skies,
There in the sudden blackness the black pall
Of nothing, nothing, nothing—nothing at all.”
—Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
