Did Keiji Inafune’s departure from Capcom have any influence on the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3? Capcom says no, but who knows for sure.

Obviously Inafune is now aware that Mega Man Legends 3 has been canned, and he seems quite sad about the situation. He’s especially upset since he knew that the staff didn’t need his help, as they had strong motivation to work on the game.

Inafune posted the following message on his blog for staff members who have been working on the project:

“The decision for the cancelation was out of my sphere, but as someone who took part in the development, I’d like to convey something to the staff: I’m sorry that I couldn’t be of assistance.”

Inafune also posted a few words for fans and how he would have liked to have seen the game make it out to the public:

“I’m truly sorry I couldn’t take part until the end. … I didn’t buy a 3DS for this project, but at the very least I’d like to have played the demo.”

Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Asassin’s Creed: Lost Legacy has been cancelled. The company revealed the news during a financial results conference call earlier today. Ubisoft made the decision in September 2010, so the game must not have been in development for too long. Instead of Lost Legacy, Ubisoft is preparing other releases such as… “Image” and “Petz” games. Great.

Although the title is no more, elements of the project have made it into a different Assassin’s Creed. Writer Darby McDevitt said last week that Lost Legacy “kind of morphed into” Revelations.
