Almost 20 years later, Arkane's founder says he understands why Valve cancelled the Ravenholm game that never was:…
Arkane Studios founder Raphaël Colantonio discussed the cancellation of the standalone Half-Life 2: Ravenholm game, which was in development in the late 2000s. He explained that the decision was primarily economic, stemming from the sales performance of Half-Life 2's DLCs. Colantonio expressed initial pain and confusion over the cancellation but has since come to understand the business realities, noting the project's influence on Arkane's later work, such as Dishonored.
