    After jazz 3 was declined by gathering of developers, epic continued the search for a publisher they looked at some of the big name ones and eventually made a deal with Activision.The game would start like so: once you started the game you would be in a non-intractable jazz2 like environment, in planet Carrotus castle, suddenly Devan teleports into the room through a portal, taking jazz's children with a gravity gun like device, the game switches to a cartoon cutscene, jazz jumps through the portal just before it closes, jazz is shown tumbling through a swirling vortex, morphing from a cartoon hand drawn style to pre rendered 3D.The game would then start as we see in the betas.After playing through the game as we see in the public demo, you must return to the rocket launch pad and fly to other planets to play the rest of the game, this would use a smb3 like map to move from planet to planet. planets would include: Diamondus, Tubelectric, Medivo, Labrat, Bloxonius, Letni, some new ones, etc.The ps2 version would have splitscreen multiplayer, with up to 4 players, there would be no online multiplayer, on pc however, there would be online multiplayer, a level editor, and no splitscreen.Playable characters were jazz spaz and lori, custom characters would be given more customise ability then ever before, they could be given individual clothing fur styles colors, with no more simple re-colorings of the base characters. razz would also be in the game teaching you about how the game works, you would first meet him in the tutorial cave, with an icon of his face appearing on help text, there would be different icons on the textboxes based on who is talking.It would look a bit like this a grappling hook mechanic would also be added.The game was a large success, getting ratings of 4 to 4.5 out of 5, as there were some complaints about the complexity of the level editor, and various multiplayer bugs, along with battle being the only multiplayer mode, treasure hunt and CTF would soon be added by official patch however.Jazz 3 city would have been started near the end of the year.

    I’m surprised fans haven’t tried making an unofficial jazz 3 game since 2 has or at least had a pretty active community.

    Of course user 49th I feel good even great.Maybe it's too late to talk about Cliff Bleszinski trying to revive Jazz Jackrabbit 3 instead he made Unreal Engine 3 UDK Kismet ios demo 8 years ago when he was working for Epic Games.He was left Epic Games since 2012 in 2014 he created his own game studio named Bosskey Productions with Arjan Brussee.In 2017 and 2018 Lawbreakers and Radical Heights were made, but due to failures his new game studio was closed now his former new employees are working for Epic Games.For this moment Epic Games keeps updating Fortnite Battle Royale.Anyway Jazz Jackrabbit fans made few unofficial patches to Jazz Jackrabbit 3 including leaked 0.13d alpha demo even Jazz Jackrabbit 2 beta 0.9.7 e3 1997 demo.

    Do you think is there still chance to revive Jazz Jackrabbit 3?Gearbox Software made Borderlands first and then Duke Nukem Forever was finally finished same for Witcher 1 Metropolis Software was trying to prototype, but they cancelled it so to this very day CD Projekt Red own the licence for Witcher nowadays.Jazz Jackrabbit iOS UDK 2010 Kismet demo ended up like Conker holo-lence Microsoft technology.

    I guess Jazz Jackrabbit thinks that Epic Games lawyers are just like Judge Dredd(1996).

    Jazz 3 would eventually produce a spin-off series, called 'Jazz - Jackrabbit of Steel', which would later be recognized as a solid game, but which failed to stir fans of the original Jazz 3.

    Eventually the rights were sold to Harebrained Schemes, who would go on to produce the critically acclaimed, and commercially succesful, 'Jazz, the Jackrabbit, 3, II', which took the franchise into its now well-known first-person style.

    Well at least Jazz Jackrabbit (in Easter egg form) appeared in Fortnite Battle Royale as in-game poster same for Unreal Tournament so I guess these games partially belongs to Epic Games it also to Tencent(Chinese corporation) same for Commander Keen (partially belongs to Id Software) was also as Easter Egg in Doom(2016) this game was made by Bethesda Studios.Duke Nukem Gearbox Software still owns this IP that also partially belongs to 3D Realms.When Cliff Bleszinski left Epic Games he made his new studio two new indie games and then after that he closed his studio he acclaimed that he will take break from game development, but he quite quickly changed his mind he stated that he will never develop any video game ever again.
