Formed by ex Monumental Employees in the wake of the collapse of
Monumental Games 2 years ago Legendary has successfully managed the
transition from AAA Console and PC MMO to HTML5. Now
employing 15 full time and freelance staff the company has come a
long way.
Ewan Lamont the CEO of Legendary Games said “Legendary
Games has achieved a lot in two years. We have published two
games on Social networking sites, a teacher training educational
game for Protocol National, developed several web sites and we have
lead three large government funded R&D projects: creating an
advanced analytics engine, an asset repository system and
investigating the feasibility of reducing energy consumption in the
home using an augmented reality game.
Legendary have released a podcast celebrating their achievements
and revealing what they think about their most recent Kickstarter
project Year O

Players will battle for survival and to mould the new world in
their image. Not only do they need to scavenge for food and
material to rebuild their world, they must also form alliances and
fight the other survivors for scarce resources and
territory.

Ewan Lamont added “It is sad to see local AAA studio
closing I only hope that the success of Legendary can show that
there is hope still for the industry “
