The game was being developed by Angel Studios for the PlayStation 2 under publisher Take-Two Interactive. Development stopped when Angel Studios was acquired by Rockstar and renamed [[wp:Rockstar San Diego|Rockstar San Diego]]. An ISO of a development build of the game (presumably one of the last builds) leaked in 2016 and was promptly documented by the game preservation YouTube channel PtoPOnline [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZItobLIJJMY here]. The name of the game seen on the main menu, '''Oni 2: Death & Taxes''', was likely a working title or a light-hearted placeholder; the game data internally uses the name '''Oni 2: Rebirth''', and this title can also be seen in an unused menu screen (right). | ||
