\nA new report has detailed a long-lost title from Totally Games, the developer best remembered for its work on the X-Wing series. Known as Knights of Decayden, it was planned as an early exclusive for the original Xbox before its cancellation and subsequent fade into obscurity.\n<\/p>\n

\nTotally Games was, of course, a big deal back in the 1990s, having made a name for itself with LucasArts’ hugely popular series of Star Wars space shooters, which included the likes of X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance. Sadly, the studio closed in 2015, following a string of critically and commercially disappointing releases – but fans will likely get a kick out of a new Axios report<\/a> detailing a fantasy flight combat game the developer was working on in partnership with Microsoft at the height of its success.\n<\/p>\n

\nKnights of Decayden (other titles reportedly included alternative spelling Knights of Decadyn and Project Archipelago) was initially pitched to Sony under the name Knights of Utu for release on PS2, but eventually found its way under Microsoft’s wing, with the plan being to release it as an Xbox exclusive in the year following the fledgling console’s 2001 launch.\n<\/p>\n
