Dungeon Keeper 3 Cancelled

By Sam Parker, GameSpotPosted Aug 1, 2000 7:59 pm PT

A Bullfrog site update states that development has ceased on the strategy series' follow up.

Bullfrog Productions, the UK-based EA division known for its offbeat strategy games, has revealed that it has decided to end work on Dungeon Keeper 3 so as to work on other games. The site explains that "opportunities to develop new intellectual properties on new platforms such as PlayStation 2 have meant that DK3 has been put on hold." Though there are no plans for developing any new Dungeon Keeper games at the moment, the Bullfrog statement points out that this is always a possibility for the future.

The Dungeon Keeper titles were real-time strategy games that put players in the role of a dungeon overseer charged with managing an underground realm and protecting it against the goodly adventurers that conventionally appear in roleplaying games. The series won praise from reviewers for its innovative design and devilish humor.

    Dungeon keeper, one of the best game ever. Same as Half life, Populous, Black & White, ahhh. Good old times, where everything was new and so funny and playable. Today's games just sux.

    if they do decide to make a dk3 y not throw a kind of twist for ex: evil went to the uper world but were completely overwhelmed by the full force of united dwarves elves n humans and there heavily defended fort gaurding the exit/entrance to the underworld kill many creatures and giveing them a huge advantage and forcing all the keeper to the lowest plain of hell (since there always talking about plains) u must now reunite the scatterd creatures finding new ones and old ones(i want dragons back damnit) and u pretty much go all the way back to where #2 ended and from there a whole new game franchise could be made for the upper world battle

    i would rather the game be like DK1, or a remake of DK1, just with better graphics and maybe some stuff from DK2 on it as well. DK2 is pretty slow unlike the origional when it comes to combat, less deadly should i say. I did hear that the plans for DK3 where dreadful and that they had to scrap it as it didnt go so well with the pics and designs for the DK3 to be above ground i.e earth. It basicly wouldnt be a dungeon keeper game as it wont be underground. Anyway thats what i saw, read about some time ago =(

    IMO designing another DK game using next generation technology is a heavy responsibility. Don't forget that the companies want to sell their soft, so it must also be made catchy. There is also the two edged possibility of being either console-based or MMO for PC. - Both would ruin DK3!
    If it is going to be coming out this way I prefer sticking to DK1!

    EA own the rights to Dungeon Keeper. And we all know that EA suck and are never going to make the game.

    If Lionhead brought the rights we'd be in the green

    i still cannot understand why they would just leave DK! I bet if every DK fan comes out and protests greatly at the same time they would do summit! about it!

    Dungeon keeper with todays technology? Surley thats both a money oppurtunity for EA and a reward for fans who thought they were gonna get a DK3 judging from the DK2 trailer? i dont think it will, but i hope it does get made
