Codemaster has confirmed with CVG that inXile's Hei$t has been canceled. The reason? Well, it probably wasn't very good.
"Codemasters is focusing its future portfolio on high quality titles that will, in the majority, be developed and produced by our internal studios," a rep told CVG.
The game (which was in development for what felt like a billion years) had players performing robberies across San Francisco, and appeared to have a 70s vibe.
CVG is also reporting that the developer is "lining up announcements for some truly huge games in the next few months." What those games could be is unclear, but one of them certainly won't be Hei$t.

What else could Codemasters have that could be "truly huge games"?
"Heist. Although the nickname around Codemasters for the game is Shite"
And proceeded to tell us how horrible the game is. This was about 2 years ago lol.
Kinda disappointed, really. Though I guess I shouldn't be, considering the comment above me. :/
I mean, seriously!
Now that is clever.
When has that ever stopped Codemasters before?
jk ;)
I mean, seriously!
