Overview[]
Relic Hunters Legend is a top-down, 2D,online shooter RPG published by Rogue Snail and developed by Betu Souza and Mark Venturelli. It has been designed to be a spiritual successor/sequel to Relic Hunters Zero, sharing the same top-down and 2D style with most of the previous cast returning. However, Relic Hunters Legend has a new art style-consisting of a mix between 2D and 3D, more rpg mechanics such as a stat points system, unique character skills and more gun customization and a more well-developed plot-line. It is suspected to be released in 2019.
Plot[]
Relic Hunters Legend tells the story of a mysterious time-traveller with no memories and a ragtag band of relic hunters, who join forces to defeat an evil villain who has stolen the past!
In the fantastic sci-fi world of the Relic Hunters, the entire Galaxy is ruled by the Duke Ducan and his Ducan troops. The evil Duke has somehow stolen the past, and tells everyone that he is responsible for everything good that has ever happened - providing legitimacy to his oppressive regime.
Led by Pinkyy and Jimmy, the Relic Hunters travel around the Galaxy looking for ancient ruins and Relics of the old civilization (the “Keepers”), trying to restore the memory of the true past. In Relic Hunters Legend, they will find a new mysterious ally: Seven, who has no memories and the strange ability to travel back and forth through time.

Comic series[]
In the comic series serving as a prequel to Relic Hunters Legend, Ace, Biu, Raff and Pinkyy are scrap collectors who make a living off selling junk they find across the galaxy. When attempting to cross into a new planet, Commander Krek does a semi-random security check on their ship to see if they are harboring the rebels-Jimmy and Panzer, who recently got hold of a map detailing the location of a Relic-and, when faced with nervousness from Pinkyy, remind her of her 'lowly status'. Out of nervousness, Pinkyy attacks Commander Krek but, out of Ace's begging, they are spared as the others fuss over the unconscious Pinkyy.
In the second issue, it is found out that indeed the rebels were hiding on their ship, the Spaceheart, and request for their politeness. They threaten to arrest and subdue him but Pinkyy, speaking for the entire group against their will-declares themselves as allies to the rebels, therefore making them criminals, due to her wanting to see the look on Commander Krek's face and out of revenge. They travel to a distant planet where a Relic is located and are able to enter the temple through the use of Biu's mass manipulation.
Upon finding the relic, it is revealed that Ace had informed the Ducans secretly of the relic-and the crew's-position without the others knowing, in exchange for a bag of scrap junk. The Ducans then arrest Jimmy and Panzer and leave the scrap collectors inside the temple, where Ace reveals that it was a trick and they were just hauling a hologram. Upon realizing this, Commander Krek and his forces ensue in a battle against the rebels, of which he loses and is forced to retreat with. They then officially declare themselves as Relic Hunters.
