Golden Axed: A Cancelled Prototype was a limited-time free game published by Sega for Steam as part of their Go Sega 60th Anniversary campaign. It is a prototype release of a cancelled Golden Axe game titled Golden Axe Reborn. It was removed from sale on 19 October 2020.
The game was brought back to Steam after Sega announced that all of its 60th Anniversary games would be available again for 48 hours from 14 December 2020 to 16 December 2020.[2][3]

History
The game was originally developed in 2012 in only two weeks.[4] Programmer Tim Dawson was not informed of the game's release, or that it would be treated as a joke, and reacted angrily on Twitter.[5] In response, Sega edited the game's description to be less derisive.[6][7]
