BIONICLE: Masks of Power Officially Cancelled

For eight years, the devs over at Team Kanohi has been hard at work in making BIONICLE: Masks of Power but that has changed as the game has been officially cancelled. In a statement that has been released, it seems that The LEGO Group has asked for the fan-made game to be shut down entirely and basically erase it from the public eye.

It was mentioned that there had been no issues with LEGO and they even endorsed it in their Bits N’ Bricks podcast three years ago. The only reason that Team Kanohi thinks why LEGO wanted them to shut down the game was it was easy to mistake it as an official LEGO product.

Team Kanohi has been renamed to Unmasked Games and the plan now is to use the knowledge from making BIONICLE: Masks of Power to create a new game codenamed Project Rustbound.
