Originally known as Ruin when it debuted at E3 2011, the game that would become Warriror's Lair was one of the first games to support Cross Play, even though it never saw the light of day beyond Sony's studio.

"Sony Computer Entertainment can confirm that Warrior’s Lair for PS Vita is no longer in development," a Sony representative told IGN. "We apologize to those who pre-ordered the title and ask that they contact their retailer directly to cancel their pre-sale."

Initially, Idol Minds was behind the game's development, but after rumors the studio had closed, Sony San Diego supposedly took up the reigns. The game no-showed at E3 2012, and has since been missing-in-action. Cancellations like this happen, but it's still a shame to see what was a then promising title vanish from Sony's slate.
