It’s been a very long, very strange road for Forsaken Legends. This ambitious fantasy sandbox garnered some attention when it began to sell prelaunch access back in 2016. However, the minuscule team and limited funding kept development at a crawl, with the title downsizing from an MMO and then upsizing back into an MMO at various points.
Now it looks as though that project is on hold as the team at Holy Fire Games is creating a free-to-play zombie simulator called Day of the Infected. This sim is actually a simulator, with players starting out on Day One of the infection and can see it spread or curb the plague through various means.
The team said that this game will eventually serve the MMO: “We’re not giving up on Forsaken Legends by any means. This is a way for us to secure long-term funding to make sure we can make the game we set out to do in the very beginning.”
