Although he drops no loot that is unique or significant in any way much like the rest of the dungeon which is basically just killing a bunch of white mobs item wise, there is a hidden feat of strength achievement with an attached banner sigil that is awarded for killing him.
As a bonus it makes a potential avenue of expressed frustration for those irritated with some of the game design choices. This is the feat of strength you will be rewarded with for downing the unique Jay Wilson unburied mob. Like the other feats, there are no achievement points for unlocking them, however the banner sigil is pretty cool along with its variant and both can make for some nice bragging rights.

It's also unknown whether the franchise's perfectionist nature and the death of Stephen Sustarsic, one of the creative forces behind the said franchise, have to do with all that rack, given that Sustarsic was replaced by Mark Zaslove, a friend of his, as a story editor of Xiaolin Chronicles.
However, the franchise's creator Christy Hui recently hinted about the Xiaolin Warriors' return , so it's very likely the new installment in the franchise will be eventually Saved from Development Hell.

The first received notoriety among fans very fast for being produced voice acting aside by a single person. It seemed to have gotten pretty far, and was set to be released at the end of , but around , the author disappeared.
He attempted to restart the project several years later, with little success, and he uploaded the last teaser video in Originally meant to be a series of feature-length 3D films, the project eventually separated into a 2D and 3D "team".
However, the 3D team is still said to be functioning and working on a fan film of their own. Both have met such a fate, though to make up for losing the game files, the game's creator has set his sights on finishing a smaller fan project, of undisclosed nature.

So Zahn and Stackpole worked on the script and turned it into a four-chapter novella, but Del Ray did not buy that script. Both versions are languishing on their hard drives, and it's been something like ten years since the X-Wing Series was going.
It's particularly frustrating when you see that in someone came out with a three-issue X-Wing Series comic, Rogue Leader , which had nothing to do with Stackpole and is generally considered inferior due to Off-Model art, rampant decompression , and a basically pointless storyline, without even any good character interaction, that could be summed up in two sentences: "The Empire will fight even without an Emperor , and some of its people are monsters.

Since Larsson could not get married due to Swedish law making any married couple public Larsson had made many enemies as a news reporter and he believed that his life becoming public would allow him to be the victim of an assassination, therefore insisting that his privacy be protected , his girlfriend tried to use this as an attempt to gain the rights since the two were already very much a couple otherwise but failed to convince the courts.
At this point, any attempt to complete the manuscript is near impossible. Because of this, the publishers requested another writer to continue the series despite not being based from Larsson's manuscripts. The fourth book, The Girl in the Spider's Web , was released in , and received mixed reviews. Bruce Coville 's The Unicorn Chronicles. After writing books one and two in fairly quick succession and respectively , and leaving the captive audience with a massive cliffhanger, he then dropped off the face of the earth for nine years before publishing the third book in Coville even lampshades this in his author's note, saying that he feared fans of the first books would have outgrown the series before he finished it.
Unfortunately, publishers don't seem interested. The truly curious can find references to many of these works and others in his replies on the guestbook of his official website.

Worm was preceded by years of failed drafts.

The game appeared one more time during PlayStation's Paris Games Week conference, and then in , director Michel Ancel posted some spoiler-free screenshots. Things then went quiet for years. Some assumed Wild was canceled, and others thought its development was simply taking a while. But in September , the situation became more apparent: Ancel was retiring from game development , right around the same time he was being accused of toxicity at work, as reported by GamesIndustry.
Ancel announced at the time that Beyond Good and Evil 2 and Wild's development would continue despite his retirement, but Video Games Chronicle reported back in August that Wild's development had been shut down for good.

Then, a year later, Starbreeze Studios filed for restructuring.
