Cursed Mummy [Cancelled — Mobile]

31-08-2024

Sphinx & the Cursed Mummy is a great 3D platformer launched on the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube with a Java iteration released shortly after. The game, despite receiving critical acclaim, failed to reach mainstream appeal and sold poorly. A sequel was in the cards for Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy, but it never came to fruition.

After years of waiting for a potential comeback of Sphinx, Ex-Eurocom employees formed the Eight Pixels Square to work on a mobile instalment. This instalment, however, differed from its 3D counterpart. From the prototype demo found online, we can see the game was going to be an infinite runner-type of game. The player would be tasked with guiding the mummy through endless corridors by swiping on the mobile screen. Unfortunately, this attempt by Eight Pixels Square to reach a broader audience, and potentially revive the franchise was met with cancellation. All that remains is a short demo gameplay uploaded on Vimeo by Jose Luis Garcia Camara.
