"The Original Slayer" is a milestone work in the history of the video game hoodie image. The protagonist is a man who always wears a hood and always has a irritable face. He has a mutant virus hidden in his body and a strong sense of anxiety that was unique to 2009.
Activision's senior executives always felt that there was no need to release more sequels for "The Legend of the Sorrow" and its sequel, which made the series only exist in the short memories of players kicking enemies into low-Earth orbit.At least until this week.24 hours ago, "The Legend of the Slayer" and "The Legend of the Slayer 2" suddenly received unpredicted Steam updates, with each update size of about 600MB.
Neither update comes with any patch notes or Steam news posts to explain the specific changes.However, their most obvious impact is that all players who are still playing "The Legend of the Condolence" can no longer play.When running this game on modern systems, you almost have to rely on modules like "PrototypeFix" to solve frequent crashes and hardware compatibility issues.But we live in a cruel world, and these sudden secret updates have completely invalidated the "Slaying the Original Repair Patch".
Fortunately, the mod's maker soon released an update so that all Alex Messer fans—and those who like his terrible body—have no longer have to endure the long suffering.However, the impact of these updates has more than annoyed about 100 players around the world.
They may also imply that a remake of "The Legend of the Sorrow" is in progress.
As you may have guessed, it didn't take long before the module maker and data miners began to disassemble and analyze what changes the 600MB update brought, and found a development test map that had never appeared in the previous version.Although debugging the map itself is always interesting, what is more worthy of attention is the unexpected additions of the producers of "The Legend of the Slayer".
Where the original production crew list ended, there is now a new series of names and studios.First, there are attributions from contributors of the Ubisoft Connect version - based on my crazy search, this version doesn't seem to exist at all.Next, the staff names of Beenox and Demonware appear in the production staff list, both of which are Activision's support studios.
The most important point is: the name of Iron Galaxy Studio appears at the end of the updated production staff table.The studio has extensive experience in transplanting and remakes, and has been involved in PC works such as "Spyro Reignited Trilogy", "Unched: Legacy of Thieves Collection", and "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater: 3 + 4".
It is obviously far from being an official confirmation for an updated game 16 years ago.But if you want to guess the possible remake of "The Legend of the Sorrow", the name of Iron Galaxy is undoubtedly a very convincing material for thinking.We can only wait and see.
