The studio also worked on several cancelled projects. In 2009, Avalanche announced "AionGuard", a "God of War"-style open world fantasy game which features World War I fighters, samurai and knights for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Influences for the game were drawn from "Star Wars" and works from Frank Herbert and Michael Moorcock. However, the project was eventually put on hold indefinitely in 2010. In 2012, the company announced a non-Superman comic book game, which was eventually cancelled in 2014. The studio almost collaborated with LucasArts to develop an open world video game based on the "Star Wars" universe. A steampunk-themed game was also reported to be in development, but was later put on hold.
