This game started out as a Dreamcast game in 1997. But after the failure of the Dreamcast it was moved to a PS2 exclusive but even then there was delay after delay until the game was announced multiplatform (Playstation 2, X-Box, Gamecube and PC). Unfortunately the publishers at the time, Interplay, were and still are having major money troubles and dropped the game from their publishing list. Desperate to find a new publisher the developers signed with Sci games but they only wanted the X-Box version so once again the game became exclusive this time to the X-Box and was finally released in 2004 in Europe and North America.
The game's developer, Confounding Factor, disbanded shortly after Galleon's completion, making it the only game ever made by the company.
