Earlier this month, as spotted by Twitter user MauroNL, Polish developer People Can Fly decided to cancel the new action/adventure IP codenamed Project Dagger.
The game was originally slated to be published by Take-Two. However, Take-Two decided to drop Project Dagger nearly two years ago, leaving People Can Fly to pursue the development on its own.

For a while, it did so. Now, the studio decided against continuing to work on it after negatively evaluating its potential.
The discontinuation of work on the Project is the result of re-analysis of the development plans for projects implemented by the capital group of PCF Group S.A. (the “Group”) and introducing changes to these plans in connection with the unsatisfactory results of the evaluation of the scope and commercial potential of the Project after redefining the direction of the game’s development.
The cancellation of Project Dagger will result in write-offs, with an estimated reduction of $18.50 million in the standalone 2023 financial result and $15.81 million in the consolidated 2023 financial result. However, as part of the termination agreement signed in 2022 with Take-Two, People Can Fly would have had to pay $20 million to Take-Two if the game was ever released. With its cancellation, this will no longer be necessary.
People Can Fly, whose latest released games are Outriders and Bulletstorm VR, is still working on five projects. Project Gemini is being developed for Square Enix and suffered layoffs to the tune of 30 employees earlier this year due to reduced scope. Project Maverick is being developed for Microsoft with an estimated budget of $30-50 million and may well be based on the Gears franchise, which the studio already knows intimately, having developed 2013's Gears of War: Judgment. Project Victoria, Project Bifrost, and Project Red are probably going to be self-published as part of the new strategy of making AA games alongside AAA.

A bug is missing from Dragonflight Season 4, as the Amber Skitterfly mount from Trading Post apparently doesn't exist! Lacking a preview and absent from the collections tabs, purchasing the mount consumes 600 Tender and awards absolutely nothing in return. While it is very likely that Blizzard corrects this bugged bug with either a refund of the Trader's Tender or ideally adding the mount to collection tabs directly, players on the fence about it or simply concerned about their limited stock of traders tender may want to avoid purchasing the mount for the time being.

Eco-conscious village builder The Wandering Village sees you raising a settlement on the back of a huge wandering creature called Onbu. For the most part, you live in a symbiotic relationship with this gentle giant, as your villagers keep the gargantuan trundlesaur healthy while being ferried about on its back. Awww. Well, the wholesome city-builder now lets you feed villagers to the creature and start a cult in the great devourer's name. Okay. Why not?
So I live in the UK and want to checkout the US PS Store through my console. If it is possible I know I'll have to set up a new account to do so.
