When Titan Quest developers Iron Lore went belly-up, two former employees started Crate Entertainment, revealing they were working on a new RPG Black Legion, IL's final project before its demise. It hasn't been heard of since
Black Legion was put on hold and made room for another RPG, which is using the Titan Quest engine but is not a sequel. While similar in gameplay, the new game has a darker fictional setting, more depth in certain areas, new features, is less linear, has a more replayable world with secret unlockable areas, an ultra-challenging difficulty mode balanced for team play, and shooter-style rapid healing when you're out of combat to reduce dependency on potions.
