Matter is a cancelled video game for the Xbox 360. It would have used the Kinect peripheral. [1] It was originally announced at E3 2012; the game was set in a universe similar to that of Tron, [2] with futuristic, industrial graphics, and featured small, metallic balls as the main characters. [3] Originally, filmmaker Gore Verbinski, director of Pirates of the Caribbean and Rango , was attached to the project. [2]

The game was announced to be cancelled about a year later. [4] While reasons for the cancellation are unknown, a poster on the NeoGAF forums hinted at mismanagement and the studio's unfamiliarity with game development as the main problem. [5]
