Eidos Montréal just axed more people for the third round of cuts since early last year, and leaked resumes show they were cooking up a dark fantasy action RPG with melee combat and parkour that was pretty clearly a Legacy of Kain revival before it got canned. The studio already lost workers when Embracer killed their Deus Ex project and then dumped another 75 people after wrapping support work on the Fable reboot.
Crystal Dynamics grabbed back the Legacy of Kain rights a few years back, and the Soul Reaver remasters seemed like they were testing the waters for a full comeback that never happened. Eidos also scrapped a point-and-click game with turn-based fights, and nobody knows what happened to their 3v3 esports shooter project. The Canadian dev house has been stuck doing contract gigs like Grounded 2 since Guardians of the Galaxy dropped back in 2021, which makes their future look pretty sketchy.
