2016 shelved open-world "Donkey Kong Freedom" by Vicarious Visions amid Activision resource reallocation; concept art leaks.

Rumors of a canceled Donkey Kong game, "Donkey Kong Freedom," developed by Vicarious Visions (now Blizzard Albany), have emerged online. Allegedly an open-world title, it was intended for the Nintendo Switch but was shelved around 2016 when Activision redirected resources to other projects. Leaked concept art has sparked interest among fans, though its authenticity remains unverified. Donkey Kong will return with "Donkey Kong Country Returns HD" on January 16, 2025.
