The
Tribes Extreme add-on to
Starsiege: Tribes has been cancelled. The game had been intended to give a single-player element to the successful multi-player only game as well as providing additional multi-player content. In a note of explanation on the
Tribes Extreme website, designer Nels Bruckner explained, "The single player component has taken us much longer to wrap our heads around than we originally anticipated and we just don't feel we have anything close to finished that would be worth charging for or releasing." The
Tribes Extreme team will merge with the group working on
Tribes 2.
Tribes Extreme's loss is
Tribe 2's gain. That game, which had been planned as multi-player only, will now feature a single-player element.
