{{GameInfobox |developer = Headfirst Production | features = Single-player, Multi-player |status = Cancelled |genre = Survival horror, Third-person shooter |cancelled_platforms = Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube }} '''''Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End''''' was a [[Third-person shooter|third-person]] [[survival horror]] [[video game]] that was in production at [[United Kingdom|British]] developer [[Headfirst Productions]]. It was planned as a [[sequel]] to the 2005 game ''[[Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth]]''. == Story and gameplay == <blockquote>''Destroyed by a government raid in 1928, the mysterious town of [[Innsmouth]] was left to fester in ruins for nearly 80 years. The two central characters, Emily and Jacob, return to search for the truth as they unveil the horrors of the town's past. Destiny's End will break new ground in the field of survival horror by featuring innovative [[Cooperative gameplay|co-operative gameplay]] whereby two players can each assume the role of one of the main [[protagonist]]s at any time in the game and work together to overcome their deepest fears. Players will have to use both characters to defeat their enemies thanks to fantastic co-operative [[Combo (video gaming)|fighting combos]]. Featuring a blend of fierce action, combat and exploration, gamers will journey into a world of malevolence and horror with "Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End."''<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20061223100511/www.headfirst.co.uk/html/game_cocde.php Official ''Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End'' website] ([[Internet Archive]])</ref></blockquote> == Development == ''Destiny's End'' began in 2002 as '''''Call of Cthulhu: Beyond the Mountains of Madness''''' for [[Xbox]] and PC [[Windows]] (planned already as a sequel to ''Dark Corners of the Earth'', even as this repeatedly-delayed game would be eventually released only nearly three years later), when they heard about [[Guillermo del Toro]]'s project to adapt [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s ''[[At the Mountains of Madness]]'' (as of 2010, the development of this film has not started yet).<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/callofcthulhubeyondtmom/news.html?sid=2898234 Call of Cthulhu: Beyond the Mountains of Madness announced], [[GameSpot]], Nov 21, 2002</ref> The game got eventually either cancelled or merged with the other Cthulhu project by Headfirst Productions, ''Call of Cthulhu: Tainted Legacy'' for [[PlayStation 2]], which was originally scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of 2004.<ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/adventure/callofcthulhutaintedlegacy/news.html?sid=2898231&om_act=convert&om_clk=newsfeatures&tag=newsfeatures%3Btitle Call of Cthulhu coming to consoles], [[GameSpot]], Nov 21, 2002</ref> The gameplay in the game also evolved form [[first-person shooter]] of ''Dark Corners'' to the ''[[Resident Evil 4]]''-style over-the-shoulder [[third-person shooter]],<ref>[http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/pc/previews/call-of-cthulhu--destiny-s-end-443141.html Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End E3 2005 Hands-On Impressions], [[GameSpot]], May 19, 2005</ref> but with exploration and melee combat resembling these in the ''[[Silent Hill]]'' series (like in [[Alone in the Dark (2008 video game)|''Alone in the Dark'' 2008 reboot]]). == Vaporware == ''Destiny's End'' was originally signed for release in March 2005, but the publisher, Hip Interactive, for the project fell on financial troubles and declared [[bankruptcy]] in December 2005. Headfirst Productions itself went into liquidation as of March 2006, and the game is now thought to be [[vaporware]].<ref>{{cite web | title = Headfirst Productions Company Profile | publisher = GameSpy | url = http://au.gamespy.com/company/027/027107.html | accessdate = 2007-01-17 }}</ref> == See also == *[[Call of Cthulhu (role-playing game)|''Call of Cthulhu'' (role-playing game)]] == References == {{reflist|2}} == External links == *[http://www.gamersinfo.net/articles/507-e3-preview---call-of-cthulhu-destinys-end E3 Preview - Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End] *[http://www.gamesfirst.com/index.php?id=48 E3 2005: Call of Cthulhu: Destiny's End] [[ru:Call of Cthulhu: Destiny’s End]]
