In late 2002, The 3DO Company, the game's developer, announced that the game would be released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox.[1] It was also announced that 3DO would be partnering with Stan Winston on the game as a producer. Stan Winston has been involved in designing creature effects for such films as Jurassic Park, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Aliens.[2] The game was basically scrapped after the company went bankrupt in May 2003. However, some hope was rekindled of a release in 2004 when the game's creator, Michael Mendheim, announced that the IP was "far from dead".[3]
