Legacy: Steel & Sorcery

Legacy: Steel & Sorcery was a third-person fantasy PvPvE extraction game from startup studio Notorious Studios, built around session-based runs rather than a persistent shared world. After roughly a year in Early Access, the game relaunched as Eldegarde for its full 1.0 release in late January 2026, but Notorious announced just over two months later that the game hadn't gained enough traction to sustain the studio, taking servers offline on March 31, 2026.
