      Baldur’s Gate 3 comes to mind. It was announced in 2002 and launched in 2023. They even had to cut all the content about black hounds.

      Star Citizen might take the cake, I say as an original Kickstarter backer of Star Citizen.

        What’s the current state of that? Haven’t really kept up with SC news for years mow.

          They have decided to adjust all development focus on being able to stimulate the perfect realistic animation of a poop crowning out of an in-game dog’s ass.

          It’s still moving towards completion. At a snail’s pace but it’s moving. To their defense they’ve done some really cool tech with the game engine and stuff but idk if that justifies the timeline imo.

          My money is spent regardless though, so I’ll zoom around in my leather interior ship whenever it does release.

              Lol arguably, you can actually walk around the interior of your ship in SC. The FPS portions are pretty good. But last time I played (like two years ago) I fell through a staircase.

              I should give it another go soon.

      The previous world record holder before BG&E2 was Duke Nukem Forever which took 14 years to develop and 9 years from the initial announcement in 2001 to the release in 2010.

        Half life 2 episode 3 is supposedly still in the works and supposed to have been out in 2007. You might argue it was cancelled in 2011 when they announced half-life 3 was in development. Half life 3 has yet to be officially cancelled and leaks came out a few years ago of it being an active project.
