'Legacy: Steel & Sorcery' Kicks Off Alpha Playtest #3 On Steam, Accepting Sign-ups

Featuring distinctive fantasy classes, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is a third-person action PvPvE RPG where you you race to find lost treasures while battling players and monsters in merciless action combat.

Originally the name of the developers' World of Warcraft guild 17 years ago, they have now taken their name to new heights with the founding of Notorious Studios. Establishing their first new IP, Notorious brings true gaming pedigree and engaging fantasy action-combat to a core class fantasy multiplayer epic.

Set within the realm of Mithrigarde, this lush world is now enveloped in a mysterious fog and only brave heroes can venture forth and claim the lost treasures of a fantasy world gripped by ancient evil.

Players will choose from a range of traditional fantasy classes and strike out into a world torn apart by war. Plunge axes into the skulls of goblins, shoot spells at enormous ogres, and fight against hordes of monsters to reclaim the riches of this forgotten land.

Combat has been designed from the ground up for PvP. Feel the impact of your attacks and use your abilities to carve out the flow of battle. Quick decisions and precision are necessary to win. In the wilds, the spoils go to the victor. The world is more real when everyone's hard-earned loot is on the line. Victories are savored while defeat hardens resolve.

But it’s not just fantastical creatures standing in their way, other heroes will be standing between them and glory. Players will be forced to grab what they can and battle their way to the safety of Stonehaven, where they can stock up on supplies, upgrade their lodgings and relax with others before embarking on their next adventure. Respite awaits behind the stone walls of the city. Fortify your elixirs and armaments at shops. Rest in your private room at the inn, organize your stash, and cook a meal for the next adventure.

Formed by industry veterans key to the evolution and operation of World of Warcraft, Notorious Studios is excited to announce that the Legacy: Steel & Sorcery Alpha #3 playtest is now LIVE on Steam (running until Nov. 20th at 2PM PST).

This patch features more Lodge progression features like Cooking and the Bed as well as ways to upgrade your Stash tabs (Stash containers) and much more!

Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is also coming to Steam Early Access in the near future, and will remain so for at least another 12 months.

"Our game is a true Early Access title that is still in development, including but not limited to art in the maps like trees, structures and foliage, user interface art and flow, and ability designs.”

“We expect the full version of Legacy: Steel & Sorcery to have more classes, maps, social features, Steam achievements, additional art, and balance polish. During Early Access, our plan is to release a major update every few months containing new features and content, followed by patches to address any issues.”

Key Features:

  • Go on solo adventures, or bolster your strength with up to two other friends.
  • Actively dodge, block, sprint, attack, and cast when you engage in combat.
  • Level up each character to unlock new abilities and traits.
  • The world is part of combat. Warriors can charge through walls and hurl boulders, while priests can levitate over dangers and away from enemies. Each class has unique ways in which they interact with the environment.
  • Improve your reputation with vendors to craft the most impressive gear and get them to sell you the best stuff.
  • Upgrade your permanent lodging with higher quality furnishings. Better amenities mean more benefits on your adventures.
  • Embark on quests for unique rewards and much needed supplies.
  • Experience a community-wide fresh start when major updates reset progression, deliver new content and gameplay changes.
