A video game based on the 2000 film "Titan A.E." was in development by Blitz Games and set for release in Fall 2000 following the film's summer release. The game had been in development since March 1999 after the company was approached to make it in January: back then, the film was still under the title "Planet Ice". A playable demo was shown at the E3 2000 trade event, only for it to be announced in July that development had been halted. While Blitz Game's co-founder Philip Oliver and a spokesperson from publisher Fox Interactive both confirmed that the film's poor box office performance was partly to blame (the film had grossed just over $22 million on a budget of $75-90 million at the time), they also stated that it was "only one of many different factors" that resulted in the game's cancellation.
