NEWS: Fans have long wondered why Ubisoft hired Dragon Age designer Mike Laidlaw only for him to leave after just a year. The answer: Laidlaw's King Arthur game was canceled because former Ubisoft creative chief Serge Hascoët didn't like the setting."

Fantasy Arthurian setting with shades of Monster Hunter? It sounded interesting (except maybe the co-op part). But as I understand it few projects ever make it beyond the initial concept (~1/20), and out of those that do, less than half get of the early exploration of the idea.

Here is something similar from AskAGameDev Link

Mike is himself keeping his mouth firmly shut as he is doubtless obliged to do.

Not only obliged, but probably doesn't want to have that following him just to appease people online. Look at what happened with Josh Trank in Hollywood after he blamed Fox for the problems with his Fantastic Four movie.

This sounded like it might've interested me; but there's not a lot to go on, really. Maybe it will re-emerge in some form, someday?
