“I think what Fantasy Flight is that they get a lot of pitches about turning the tabletop games into straight digital versions, and we said that we really just want to use the world and the art,” said Graham. Both will feature primarily isometric art, but they will look rather different.

Instead, Legacy is going its own way and building something new on top of the established world. Graham acknowledges that fans of the card game have asked for a digital version, but Legacy is leaving that challenge up to Fantasy Flight, who handles the physical game (it took its Talisman board game and had Nomad Games turn it into a digital form). “That’s why we don’t want to do ports of the tabletop game.” “If you were to port Netrunner from card to digital, you’d have to make changes to make it compatible with the digital space,” said Graham.
