Journey to the Centre of Arcanum

I decided to follow up on our news post yesterday and see if I could get any more details out of Leonard Boyarsky about the rumoured "Journey to the Centre of Arcanum". Here's what he had to say:
That is true. "Journey to the Centre of Arcanum" was our original plan for the Source Engine.
There's not much to tell, really. We hadn't gotten that far in the planning stages before there was some sort of problem between Sierra and Valve which scrapped the whole thing. Our general idea was to try to do alot of the same things we tried to do with Bloodlines, but in the Arcanum setting.
So there you go, Sierra and Valve killed an Arcanum sequel! Mind you it would've been a different experience to Arcanum's isometric style.

Bloodlines initially going to be an Arcanum sequel?

Tim Cain was interviewed by Australian gaming magazine PC Powerplay this month and according to EEVIAC, a random poster on the RPGCodex:
[PC Powerplay] did a similar feature on Arcanum a few months back where Leon revealed that Bloodlines had started out in pre-production as a sequel using the Source engine.
Its issue #126 of PC Powerplay. If you just want the quote, this is what he said when asked about a sequel:
Leon Boyarsky: We had actually started preproduction on a sequel using the Source engine, which eventually led us to making Vampire : Bloodlines. But there was quite a bit of turmoil going on at Sierra at the time, and it got shelved before it got too far. It had a great premise and was certain to be bug free! It was going to be called "Journey to the Centre of Arcanum."
Sha-Zing!?
