Midnight Club 5 Canceled: Rockstar’s Internal Clashes Ended a London-Set Racing Dream

TL;DR Summary
A former Rockstar designer says Midnight Club 5 was in early development with a London-style map, but the project was scrapped due to a deadline dispute between Rockstar HQ and San Diego and tensions over creative control; despite evidence that Midnight Club could compete with rivals, the series has not returned or been remastered nearly two decades after Midnight Club: Los Angeles.
