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.

Notorious Studios announced that  Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is coming to Steam Early Access on February 12, 2025, and will remain so for at least another 12 months.

After several successful closed alpha tests, Legacy: Steel & Sorcery will launch into Early Access this month for a base price of $24.99. With the help of player feedback, the team will continue to alter the meta of the game, adding new classes like the Wizard, Paladin and so much more along the way.

"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.

Inspired by 14 years of working on World of Warcraft, the team left Blizzard to create a fantasy setting of their own. They set out to create something that players had never seen before, starting their work on Legacy long before the rise of the Extraction genre. Together, they crafted a world that values looting, levelling and exploring just as much as PvP combat.

Legacy: Steel & Sorcery is in development for PC (Steam), currently scheduled for full release somewhere in 2026.
