A prototype of the unreleased Moon Warrior for the Sony PlayStation.
Notes
- Moon Warrior is an unreleased PlayStation (PSX) game by SCE Studio Cambridge, developed concurrently to MediEvil 2. It was the brainchild of Tameem Antoniades, who revealed in a 2022 interview with NME that it was based on films such as Once Upon A Time In China and further described it as "Metal Gear, but Kung Fu." It is unknown when the game was cancelled, but it is speculated there may be later builds.
- The case displays a URL, http://moonwarrior.camb.scee.sony.co.uk/. It is speculated this was an internal website which hosted internal development documents and sketches, similar to known websites for Frogger and Tax Man.
- The game automatically loads the first level upon bootup.
- This prototype contains only 2 levels. KING'S GARDENS and WAREHOUSE2.
- The player model looks to be a bit unfinished as his head and his hands are untextured.
- There's a cube in the first level. This was probably used for testing purposes. It looks very similar to the blocks which comprise the unused 'QB.MAP' in Frogger, a game created by the same developers a few years prior.
- The player can't move in the second level. The player cycles through his attacking animations. You can explore the map using the debug camera.
