Canceled Spin-Off to One of the Worst Video Games Ever Made Leaks After 12 Years

12 years following the initial release of “Ride to Hell: Retribution,” footage of an abandoned spin-off for this game has surfaced. This action-adventure title, published by Deep Silver in 2013, was met with widespread critical disapproval upon its launch.

Eutechnyx’s game, Ride to Hell: Retribution, is often regarded as one of the poorest quality video games ever made. Players and critics alike have consistently criticized its choppy gameplay, dated graphics, poor voice acting, and questionable storyline. In fact, it’s challenging to find anything positive to say about Ride to Hell: Retribution, and its status as one of the worst video games is almost a mythical one within the gaming community.

A recent leak has surfaced footage from a previously unknown version of Route 666, a spin-off of Ride to Hell: Retribution that was ultimately canceled. This clip, posted on Reddit by TanFlo1997 in the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, dates back to April 2013, mere months before Ride to Hell: Retribution’s disappointing launch. Based on the footage from this early build of Route 666, it appears to share the unintentional humor that made Ride to Hell: Retribution memorable, though it’s challenging to argue that its gameplay would have been significantly better than its predecessor.

Canceled Ride to Hell: Retribution Spin-Off Leaks After 12 Years

Based on discussions on Reddit, a playable version of the game called “Route 666” surfaced on Hidden Palace. It was reportedly around three months from release before it got shelved. The reasons behind the cancellation of Route 666 are unclear, but it’s possible that Ride to Hell: Retribution, which turned out to be one of the worst games in the 2013 video game year, may have contributed significantly to its demise.

There’s often a strange fascination with the worst video games ever made. Many poor-quality games are soon forgotten, but some are so dreadful they endure and acquire a legacy for all the wrong reasons. For instance, it was recently announced that after more than 20 years, Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing will be available on Steam. This news caught gamers’ attention because of its infamous reputation as one of the worst games out there.
