Legendary (previously known as Legendary: The Box[3]) is a first-person shooter video game developed by Spark Unlimited and released in 2008. It was published in North America by Gamecock Media Group, and in the PAL region by Atari Europe.

The game takes place in New York City and London.[4] The protagonist is a professional thief named Charles Deckard, who is hired by a mysterious organization known as the Black Order to steal an artifact from a New York museum which turns out to be the fabled Pandora's Box. Unaware of the Box's nature, Deckard opens it, unleashing a plethora of mythological creatures rampaging throughout the world, as well as granting him a strange power (the Signet) which could be the key to resolving this crisis. It is up to Deckard and a secret paramilitary force known as the Council of 98 to set things right, while the Black Order seeks to acquire the box and control the creatures to conquer the world.
