Æon Flux

Æon Flux is a canceled game based on the 1991 American animated television series of the same name. It was announced on April 9, 1996 for the PlayStation and PC. A game based on the episode "Demiurge" was developed by Cryo Interactive and published by Viacom New Media. It first appeared at E3 that same year, and the ad was even included in the 1996 VHS release of the animated series.

While working on the game, Viacom New Media will team up with Virgin Interactive. The merger would eventually see Viacom's games in development canceled and leave Cryo Interactive with no rights to use the Aeon Flux property. However, the game's resources were not lost, but were reworked into the 1997 Pax Corpus game. Pax Corpus retained many obvious similarities to the canceled game. For example, some parts of the second mission in Pax Corpus called "Prison" resemble in their appearance the level from the canceled game.

In February 2019, the project build dated November 18, 1996 was leaked.
