Artifex Mundi has delisted two games from the Nightmares from the Deep series from the Xbox Store, and it appears another could be removed from the digital storefront imminently.
As reported by the fine folk over at Delisted Games, Artifex Mundi began removing games from the trilogy from storefronts late last year, seemingly without warning. So far, Nightmares from the Deep and Nightmares from the Deep 3: Davy Jones have been delisted from the Xbox Store — we believe these games were delisted on January 1st, 2022.
As it stands, just Nightmares from the Deep 2: The Siren's Call remains available for purchase on the Xbox Store, but it looks like it could also be removed soon. According to a post over on GOG, the series will be delisted from that storefront on January 30th, so we're guessing that The Siren's Call will be removed from the Xbox Store on that date too.
Nightmares from the Deep 2: The Siren's Call
When Sarah Black, curator at the Caribbean Naval Museum, receives a package from a mysterious messenger, she is unwittingly drawn into an ancient conflict. Inside the package she finds an artifact, and instantly assailants descend on the museum to rob her. The artifact is stolen. Sarah lowers her head in disbelief as she realizes that again she is falling headfirst into a nightmare from the deep.
In a Twitter thread, one user asked if the series would return to Steam, and Artifex Mundi said it was removing the Nightmare From the Deep Series from storefronts due to licensing agreements before telling the user to "grab them when you can."
From what we can see, Nightmares from the Deep 3: Davy Jones is still available in some bundles. It's unclear just how long those bundles will remain available or if they'll be changed.
