Bad news for those hoping to take a virtual trip into Japan's yakuza-filled underground one more time on the PS2. Capcom announced today that it has halted development on Shinjuku no Ookami, aka Shinjuku Wolf.
The adventure game, which has drawn some comparisons to Sega's Yakuza due to its realistic setting on the streets of Tokyo's Shinjuku district and its promise of a high degree of freedom, was originally scheduled for a Spring Japanese release. However, in a statement issued today at its website, the company admitted that the quality of the game was not to its expectations, prompting the cancellation.
A release for the game outside of Japan was never announced.
