They didn't kill anything; they just released a completely different game and artificially linked it to the old title. The game is completely different.
What old title? The game was specifically named Cursed Lands, not Allods 3 as originally planned, to show that it's a different game, even if it's in the same universe.
P.S. The game is amazing, and the expansion is good, it's just that it was released too late.
