Defunct

Defunct is an indie racing-adventure hybrid released in 2016 across PlayStation 4, PC, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game has largely faded from active coverage, with recent gaming news focusing instead on other projects tied to defunct studios and franchises rather than Defunct itself. A 30-year-old sadistic escape game from the now-defunct developer Elf is getting remade with new artwork, while a defunct Macross rhythm game is being revived as a standalone purchase heading to Steam and mobile platforms in spring 2027. Neither development involves Defunct directly, but they reflect broader industry trends of revisiting dormant properties and vintage games through modern platforms.
