Ubisoft have reportedly cancelled an unannounced life simulation game dubbed Alterra, which devs had spent nearly three years weaving into something that combines aspects of Animal Crossing with Minecraft’s voxel building. The cancellation reportedly hasn’t resulted in any immediate layoffs.

It’s always disappointing to hear about a game cancellation, especially one that had such a unique concept. The blend of styles from Animal Crossing and Minecraft could have offered something really special. Here’s hoping the team gets to work on something exciting in the future!
