Ambitious Last Sentinel Likely Canceled After Mass Layoffs and Heavy Spending

Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier reports that Last Sentinel, Lightspeed LA and Tencent’s ambitious open‑world action title, is most likely canceled after a wave of layoffs (about 80 at Lightspeed LA) and hundreds of millions spent without meeting Tencent’s quality expectations; a veteran designer was brought in to salvage the project, but sources say Tencent ultimately halted development around July 28, leaving the studio with a sunk cost and no public release in sight.
