Cipher Complex is a military-themed stealth-action video game that was being developed for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 by Edge of Reality.[1] Development commenced in 2004 and the game was announced in 2006; the title was then signed with Sega in 2007,[2] but in July 2009 it was revealed that the game had been canceled by the publisher earlier that year after nearly half a decade of work, as noted in the LinkedIn profile of a former producer at the studio. Further details surrounding the cancellation and the game's fate remain unclear to this day.[3]

Plot

The official storyline, as quoted from the game's original press release is as follows:

U.S. surveillance satellites detect activity onboard the decommissioned Soviet Bargration Missile Defense Station 4 off the east coast of Siberia. When the Russians deny the U.S. access to the facility, Department of Defense strategists suggest that a small, plausibly deniable reconnaissance mission be sent in to investigate. The Defense Threat Reduction Agency is given the go-ahead for operation BLACKOUT, the insertion of a single expert Operator on Russian WMDs and launch facilities. Lt. Col. John Sullivan, callsign: Cipher is air dropped in, and what was supposed to be primarily a reconnaissance mission becomes a race against a terrorist threat; one with implications that will shake the foundations of American democracy and freedoms.

Gameplay

Edge of Reality was hoping to revolutionize the stealth action genre. The main character carries out various actions with speed, precision, strength and cunning stealth to neutralize enemies.

The first gameplay footage from Cipher Complex was leaked online in June 2010 via Dailymotion.[4] Similarly, part of an early cinematic as well as some character animations were released via the same site in March 2011.[5]
