<p>Another prototype has been found and archived online with the latest being a Playstation 3 port of Need for Speed Carbon.</p>



<p>This prototype is a European build of the game and is dated October 12, 2006. With the retail version launching on October 31, 2026 it&#8217;s very unlikely there are any differences between both versions of the game. However, since this build was archived this morning at the time of publishing there has not been enough time to comb through.</p>

<p>Japanese studio M2 have <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/mtwo-game.bsky.social/post/3mmjpo6gj4s2k">announced</a> that their shoot &#8217;em up title Ubusuna has been cancelled. </p>



<p>Naoki Horii, Representative Director of M2, posted the following:</p>



<p><strong>Notice Regarding the Cancelation of&nbsp;<em>Ubusuna</em></strong></p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>This is Naoki Horii, Representative Director of M2 Co., Ltd. Thank you for your continued support. Today, I have an important announcement regarding the shooting game&nbsp;<em>Ubusuna</em>, and a request to make of you.</p>



<p></p>



<p>We have been working on&nbsp;<em>Ubusuna</em>&nbsp;since its announcement in 2014, and it is with a heavy heart that we announce our decision to cancel its development.</p>



<p>The project has been led by a team centered around our in-house game creator, Hiroshi Iuchi. However, difficult circumstances led to Mr. Iuchi’s submission of his resignation, which we have accepted, under a mutual agreement and understanding.</p>



<p></p>



<p>Although we explored ways to continue this project following Mr. Iuchi’s departure, we came to the conclusion that, given the nature of the work, it would be difficult to bring&nbsp;<em>Ubusuna</em>&nbsp;to its complete form without him. We have therefore decided that we must abandon further development.</p>



<p></p>



<p>We sincerely apologize to all who have supported&nbsp;<em>Ubusuna</em>&nbsp;over the years—fans both in Japan and abroad who have eagerly awaited its completion, external creators who have dedicated their efforts daily toward its completion, and media outlets that have cooperated with our PR. We have failed to live up to their expectations, and we are deeply sorry.</p>



<p></p>



<p>Also, following the decision to halt development, we have made the video “<em>Ubusuna</em>&nbsp;SOUNDTRACK-EP-” no longer available on our YouTube channel. We offer our deepest apologies to everyone who has been enjoying the video.</p>



<p>However, to avoid misunderstanding, I would like to clarify that Mr. Iuchi has not given up all hope of completing&nbsp;<em>Ubusuna</em>, independent of M2. It is my sincerest hope that he will find an opportunity to resume the project in some form, be it different from the current one, and that you may one day be reunited with the finished work.</p>



<p></p>



<p>Lastly, I must ask you to be aware that this matter has had a profound impact not only on our fans but on those involved in&nbsp;<em>Ubusuna</em>&nbsp;and many of our employees, both emotionally and physically.</p>



<p></p>



<p>Speculative posts regarding the situation, and defamatory comments on social media and other platforms may negatively affect the mental and physical well-being of those concerned, and may also pose risks to their privacy. I seek your understanding and ask you kindly to refrain from making such posts or comments.</p>



<p></p>



<p>May 24, 2026<br>M2 Co., Ltd.<br>Naoki Horii, Representative Director</p>
</blockquote>



<p>The game had been in development for over 12 years and led by Ikaruga creator Hiroshi Iuchi.</p>
