Goodbye with a legend

In 2019, Lefay, together with former Bethesda Ted Peterson Vijay Lakshman, created together with former Bethesda developers. Lefay ordered the upcoming spiritual successor Daggerfall, The Wayward Realms. Six days ago, producer Victor Villareal released a video revealing that Lefay recently left Oncelost Games to diagnose terminal cancer.

The video that contained a moving statement from Peterson explained that Lefay had completely resigned from the development of games to spend how much time he left with his loved ones. In a cruel reversal, which will leave so many of us to wind up for years, Julian Lefay died only five days later.

“With deep sadness and heavy heart, we inform our community about graduating from Julian Lefay, our beloved technical director and co -founder Oncelost Games. Julian Lefay was not just a colleague, he was a visionary who fundamentally formed the gaming industry, as we know today.” -Concelost Games

“We are more determined than ever before to revive the news empire exactly as Julian intended,” he says report before describing in detail how thoroughly his impact will continue. However, no one can deny that Lefay's heritage will leave a permanent hole not only in the hearts of all those who will work on their upcoming passion project, but the world.
