Canceled Mojang project was a first-person shooter

4.6
Mojang, the studio in front of the man behind Minecraft, was working on a first-person shooter with another company, Markus "Notch" Persson tells Joystiq. The collaboration and the project itself is now completely dead, Notch confirms, following today's news of a mysterious cancellation.

The FPS was killed off in the prototype stage, not because it wasn't turning into a good game, but because Mojang "did not want more external dependencies," Notch says. "The success of Minecraft meant we could focus on projects fully owned by us."

Future collaborations aren't out of the question for Mojang, as long as they're "not to make money. If there are other reasons to collaborate, maybe!"

Phracture Mojang is not cut out for a first person shooter


Hmmm, probably not, but we haven't seen what they can do with first person shooters yet :p


True! Everyone says it will be bad but they've only made about 10 games... none FPS.


I think it would be pretty good. If they put as much work in it as they are minecraft :)


Definately! Minecraft has been like a 3 year project!!

Amp_ It would of probably been a fail anyway.


It could have been good for all we know. I kinda would've liked to see it.

Now that I think about it might be good. Mojang works hard on what they do. They worked very hard on MC and that's an amazing game.


That's what i'm saying. They are doing great with minecraft who says they can't make a FPS


Never knew minecraft


You still have plenty of time to get to know minecraft :)
