It has been nearly two decades since Rockstar Games last made a Midnight Club game. But at one point, Midnight Club 5 was in the early stages of development. According to a new interview with a former Rockstar developer, that game was canceled and the Midnight Club franchise was shelved due to creative differences, missed deadlines, and a lack of respect for the team working on the series.
