they didn't, afaik. and no wonder, with the big scary sqeenix still owning Dark, suing everyone into oblivion as soon as they just look at one of their ips in a funny way.

that pretty much confirms they are moving SS2 to KEX, this means they won't have to deal with sqeenix as they won't be using Dark.

My understanding of Kex is that it's mostly just a replacement renderer. You still need all the underlying game logic, which means you still need the original engine running in the background.

google/wiki says "engine framework". no idea what would that encompass, but it's used for Turok1/2, SS1EESP, and BloodFS, and they didn't have the source for Blood, so it definitely is something that can be used as a full replacement engine.
