Development
Sugar Rush was developed in Vancouver by Klei Entertainment. In May 2008, when Min Kim, Nexon's director of game operations, was interviewed at Ten Ton Hammer he stated that a game was in development in a Vancouver Studio.
The Second Closed Beta for Sugar Rush started on the November 20, 2008, and finished on the December 4, 2008. However, Nexon closed its North American development studio, Humanature in March 2009 and the future of Sugar Rush has been in question since then. The only information provided about the game's future's was a message posted on the developer's blog on by Klei Entertainment CEO Jamie Cheng. According to Cheng, "Since the shutdown of Nexon Publishing North America, there has been a ton of inquiries regarding the fate of Sugar Rush. Nexon has been amazingly great to work with during the difficult transition, and the current result is that Klei has retained the rights to Sugar Rush, and remain committed to the title.
In July 2009, Nexon announced they would be closing the Sugar Rush website, as they would no longer be the publishers for the game. As stated by Klei entertainment, Sugar Rush "will see the light of day", although not being published by Nexon America. It was announced by Klei Entertainment in late August 2010, that development of Sugar Rush had stopped and the game was cancelled.
