Former Blizzard Director's New Game Is Online Survival Experience Set During Gold Rush
The Legend of California brings Jeff Kaplan back into gamedev.
The Legend of California is an open-world, multiplayer action-survival shooter "set on the mythical Island of California during the gold rush era." If this is not exciting enough for you, you might want to know that it is being developed by Jeff Kaplan's studio Kintsugiyama. Kaplan is the former director of Overwatch and VP of Blizzard, so the project promises to be fascinating.
