Crystal Dynamics Unveils Exciting New Projects for Legacy of Kain

Fans of the iconic Legacy of Kain series have reason to celebrate as Crystal Dynamics, in collaboration with UK-based design studio Lost in Cult and Dutch art dealership Cook and Becker, announce two new projects set in the dark, gothic world of Nosgoth. Following the successful release of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered in December 2024, these new ventures promise to delve deeper into the lore and gameplay of this beloved franchise.

Introducing The Book of Nosgoth: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia

The first project, The Book of Nosgoth, is an official encyclopedia crafted by Nic Reuben of Rock Paper Shotgun. This meticulously detailed guide will explore the vast landscapes, intricate factions, and mysterious inhabitants of Nosgoth. It will feature a comprehensive timeline that traces the epic saga of Kain and Raziel, providing fans with an unparalleled understanding of the series' narrative.

Beyond its extensive lore, The Book of Nosgoth will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the development of the Legacy of Kain series. This includes original concept art, sketches, maps, and exclusive interviews with the developers. The encyclopedia will also cover the creation of all five Legacy of Kain titles, offering fans a deep dive into the series' production history.

Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan - A New TTRPG Experience

The second project, Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan, is a tabletop role-playing game that transports players to Nosgoth during the Sarafan Order's crusade against the vampire threat. Utilizing the acclaimed MÖRK BORG ruleset, this TTRPG offers a mechanics-light, high-stakes gameplay experience. Players will take on the roles of the Sarafan Order's warrior priests, engaging in vampire hunts, uncovering hidden histories, and exploring the spectral realm.

Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan features six playable classes, unique weapons and spells, and an official bestiary of nocturnal horrors. Players can explore the entirety of Nosgoth's unique landscape, crafting their own paths through a campaign filled with intrigue and adventure.

Pre-Orders Now Open for Both Projects

Excitement builds as pre-orders for both The Book of Nosgoth and Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan are now available on Backerkit. Additionally, fans can opt for the Legacy of Kain Complete Edition bundle, which includes deluxe editions of both products, also available for pre-order on Backerkit.

These new projects from Crystal Dynamics and their collaborators promise to enrich the Legacy of Kain universe, providing fans with new ways to explore and engage with the dark and fascinating world of Nosgoth.
