Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma is no longer being sold, so Redacted Studios' action/adventure sequel is no longer available for Windows or PlayStation 4 just two months after it was released. True to that, the game's Steam page no longer has a link to buy the game, though there is no accompanying explanation. CGMagazine (thanks DSOGaming) does have word on what's going on from publisher Versus Evil, who say the game's poor reception lead to them yoinking it, and they are also cancelling the two planned ensuing volumes, and figuring out how to provide refunds. Here's word:

I met with the General Manager of Versus Evil, Steve Escalante during the Montreal International Gaming Summit to ask him about the game’s disappearance. His response was surprisingly candid and inspiringly honest. He said, “The game was a failure. We could not do, in good conscience, volume 2 and volume 3. So we’ve begun the process, it’s been a long process to figure it out because Sony has never really had to do this in this way, but we’re returning all the money. So across the board we’re putting out an apology saying ‘sorry about this.’”

Escalante added, “We’re Versus Evil; a company perspective, from a partnership perspective and now we have to do it from a consumer perspective. So we pulled it down, because we didn’t want to exacerbate it anymore and then we’re refunding the money.”

Escalante also noted “if you look at the reviews, it wasn’t that the game was broken or buggy, people just didn’t like it,” while in our own experiences with the game, we did note several bugs and issues. It could be argued that any game in a broken or buggy state should have never made it to consumers.
