Precursor Games Halts Eternal Darkness Sequel, Shuts Down

In local news, Precursor Games, the small outfit composed of former Silicon Knights members, including Denis Dyack, is shutting down and putting development of Shadow of the Eternals “on hold.” The announcement came on the official Precursor Games forum on Friday morning. The game, which was an unofficial sequel to the original, critically acclaimed Eternal Darkness for Nintendo’s GameCube, was originally placed on Kickstarter to imitate the happy-ending-funding-stories of other unofficial sequels, such as Keiji Inafune’s Mighty No. 9 Megaman-esque sequel, and Chris Robert’s phenomenally successful Star Citizen which is a Wing Commander/Star Lancer follow up.
