![]() Too bad none of those dreams are likely to come true. But then again – nobody can stop us from dreaming. Well, no matter where you go – there you are. In contrast, violating the monument of fans' memories may be another death certificate. On the other hand – maybe someone should actually turn this into an animated series? Maybe they could even use some of the original voice acting? Releasing a game with ancient mechanics is just trying to exploit nostalgia, and generally asking for trouble. ![]() Why couldn't Raziel – given the chance – learn something from the youngsters? After all, Darksiders is a natural extension of Legacy of Kain, only with a lighter, fairy-tale/comic storyline. It would be necessary to turn the combat into something meatier and more spectacular, preferably inspired by God of War or Darksiders (or maybe a slightly less demanding variation of Dark Souls?), and to redo some of the more annoying puzzles. Both Soul Reavers are fairly short games with similar mechanics. First of Blood Omen, then Soul Reaver, and preferably both of them along with Defiance. I guess the best out would be remakes with the original dialogues and voices. Some concept arts and renders from the sixth and last title of the Legacy of Kain series, Legacy of Kain: The Dark Prophecy which was cancelled in 2004 for u. It was an iconic character, and recasting him would be risky.īut no one can stop us from dreaming. Obviously, it would be difficult for Legacy of Kain to return today, not only because of the average commercial potential, but also because it would lose a bit of the old magic since Tony Jay, the powerful voice of Elder God, is now deceased. I'd simply like to see the grand finale of Kain's odyssey. Why would they if the market is saturated with so many games, quite a few of them excellent? Hell, their pile of shame might be larger than the number of games released in 1996. This came as evidence of cancelled games begun to spring forth, particularly one dubbed Legacy of Kain: The Dark Prophecy. The younger generation of players won't ever reach for those games and demand the series to be revived. It was a nice gesture, a "we remember you" moment, but it didn't add anything to the vampire series, especially since the dialogues turned out to be re-mastered conversations from previous installments, mainly from Defiance and Soul Reaver 2. The only offal that fans got after years was the DLC that allowed us to guide Kain and Raziel in Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. There were some elements of these that made their way into the released games, but there was some sort of doom always hanging over Legacy of Kain anyway. These games are veritable graveyards of abandoned fragments of story, locations, and mechanics solutions, as they were all rushed and underfunded.Īpart from that, the entire series witnessed over a dozen projects in total that were binned. The same thing happened with each subsequent game in the series, especially since they were released year after year ( Soul Reaver 2 in 2001, Blood Omen 2 in 2002, and Defiance in 2003). A huge final location was cut from the first Soul Reaver, and the ending was changed to a more open-ended, with a slightly softer ending (online footage shows a much more nihilistic resolution to the plot). The series has undergone many metamorphoses. Release for Microsoft Windows platform is yet to be announced, and distribution will be digital.Dead Sun and Dark Prophecy aren't the only Legacy of Kain installments to get the dustbin treatment. Teams are switching between rounds and the fighting continues. Vampires are more hack and slash orientated, while humans go for third person shooter style. Nosgoth is a free to play multiplayer action game centered on two races: Vampires and Humans. It's safe to say that what we are getting is not what was expected of next Legacy game, but even though it is a spin-off, and some of the reception was not the greatest when the game was announced in 2013, it will make enjoyable standalone title. The d omain name was changed to, and is now a fully functional website where you can apply for closed beta. Kain is a Magnificent Sociopathic Hero interested in conquering Nosgoth with a vampire army. The series follows Badass Anti Heroes, Kain and Raziel. A few months back, there was an article about hints Square Enix left for us by registering a domain name . An action video game series depicting the dark, gothic world of Nos goth and its rather unique vampires. What I am talking about is Nosgoth, or War for Nosgoth as known to some. This game in the Legacy of Kain franchise was to be the sixth entry in the series (following on the Raziel / Kain cross-over game, Legacy of Kain: Defiance.) It was unfortunately canceled early in development. After Legacy of Kain: Dark Prophecy and Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun were cancelled, as few other Legacy of Kain titles have over the years, this one is more than promising.
