Crystal Dynamics Asks Fans What They Want in a New ‘Legacy of Kain’ Entry
Per PSU, Crystal Dynamics appears to be wasting no time polling fans’ interest when it comes to the Legacy of Kain series. After being sold to Embracer Group earlier this year, the developer has started sending out surveys (such as this one) with the intention of resurrecting the beloved franchise.
Apart from asking what entries in the series you’ve played, the survey asks players who their favourite protagonist in the series is between Kain and Raziel, and what aspects of the series that players enjoyed. It also asks whether you would rather see a new entry in the series, a remake of one of the past entries, or reboot the series entirely.
The survey also asks just what type of game the next entry would be, including a choice for a multiplayer game that will remind fans of Psyonix’s 2013 free-to-play multiplayer spin-off game, Nosgoth. Incidentally, of the titles listed in the survey, Nosgoth isn’t mentioned, which for longtime fans, is probably a good thing.
Given that Crystal Dynamics was so quick to send out the survey indicates that while they probably don’t have a new entry on the way just yet, they’re serious about revisiting the franchise, and want meet fans’ expectations before they proceed.
The last entry in the series, Legacy of Kain: Defiance, was released in 2003 for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
