"AQI decided to cancel the project after analyzing the current market environment and forecasts for the future," the publisher said in a press release, as translated by 1UP. "We deeply apologize for troubling those who were awaiting its release."

No screenshots of Cry On were ever released. Cavia was co-developing the title, and Final Fantasy series composer Nobuo Uematsu would have handled the music.

Mistwalker and Sakaguchi have previously co-developed two other role-playing games for the Xbox 360: Artoon's Blue Dragon and Feelplus' Lost Odyssey.
