Shogo - Legacy Of The Fallen (Unfinished Expansion Pack) (Anarchy Arts) (1999)
Shogo: Legacy of the Fallen was an expansion pack for Shogo - Mobile Armour Division on the LithTech engine canceled in 1999 by Aztech New Media.
It would have moved away from the fighting of Cronus and taken the player to a remote Kato mining facility at Iota-33. It would show just how well organized the Fallen actually was and the weapon capabilities of an AMBED ("Advanced Mechanical Biological Engineering Division") team. The expansion was to have an entirely new cast of characters, five new mecha to choose from, six new on-foot weapons, five new mecha weapons, several new enemy aliens, and levels that played out more like Half-Life in level structure.
It was cancelled after numerous delays. There was a postmortem on the pack's creators (Anarchy Arts) website that placed the blame on poor distribution agreements, mismanagement of development resources, and development team burnout. Some of the resource files for the project have been released.
A similarly provisional fan attempt to finish it was initiated with only a technology demo, using the popular "Maniac Challenge" custom single player levels, and a weapons mod released. Additionally, the released LOF assets were considered for inclusion in a version 7 of the BloodBath mod under the title "Legacy of the Abandoned".
Another expansion pack Shogo: Shugotenshi saw a similar fate.
