Defunct Titan Quest dev lives on as Crate Entertainment

Among those titles scooped up by the duo is Black Legion, an action RPG for the Xbox 360 that Bruno hopes will repackage Titan Quest's gameplay to "make it sort of grittier and more appealing to the mainstream audience." The Journal of New England Technology reports that the studio is currently shopping a demo for Black Legion to unspecified publishers, though we hope whoever bites won't simply shake their finger at stupid people if things don't work out exactly as planned.

This is good news I think. I really enjoyed Titan Quest.. so maybe these guys can continue on making something that is comparable.

Best of luck to them. Titan Quest was very enjoyable.

I was just going to say the same as above.

Awesome, great news. Titan Quest was so nice I bought it twice. Once on steam to get the expansion.

Nice to hear they'll be continuing with action RPGs. Haven't played Soulstorm (have it, but am still working on the rest of Dawn of War), but Titan Quest was a very strong offering and a great substitute for those of us ready to move on from Diablo II and not willing to wait 12 years for III.

Am I the only one who thinks of Titan A.E. whenever I see Titan Quest mentioned?

Am I the only one who saw the graphic for this post and thought "Gears of War"?

Crate name! Good luck to them. I hope Black Legion gets a PC release. I also hope it will have better net code than TQ did.
Blazur @ Jan 9th 2009 5:02PM
Agreed. My biggest gripe with TQ was it was virtually unplayable for me with just a few others online, while it ran fine during single player. I think the game led to overheating too.
Drake @ Jan 9th 2009 5:09PM
Yeah, now that you mention it, TQ toasted my friend's 6800 GT. He determined that the TQ:IT title/character select screen was the culprit, rather than the actual game environments. Very odd.
