"Public CVs from former Eidos Montreal employees have revealed that the company was working on a "Dark fantasy ARPG" prior to being laid off. However, Insider Gaming claims that sources have told them that the game was actually a "soft reboot" of Legacy of Kain, and that it was cancelled a few years ago. Insider Gaming goes on to say that the project - dubbed P16 due to it being the studios 16th project - was around a year into development when it was cancelled."
"Eidos Montreal is a studio that has unfortunately faced many hardships, including multiple rounds of layoffs and numerous cancelled projects. They've wound up doing a lot of support work, like helping out on the upcoming Fable for Xbox. But they are working on a new internal project that was begun in 2019. Insider Gaming's sources tell them the project already has several hundred million dollars into it and that it's unlikely to recoup that cost,"
Public CVs from former employees showed the studio worked on a "Dark fantasy ARPG" later described by sources as a soft reboot of Legacy of Kain that was cancelled about a year into development after Embracer's acquisition. The project was codenamed P16 as the studio's 16th project and had some barebones gameplay. Eidos Montreal has faced multiple layoffs and cancelled projects and has shifted to support work, including assistance on Fable for Xbox. The studio is developing a costly internal project begun in 2019 with several hundred million dollars invested and is unlikely to recoup that cost, yet the investment prevents cancellation.
