It’s one of the best action adventures in history and I’ve been waiting for its return for 20 years.

After acquiring Eidos and several of its brands, expectations are rising for Legacy of Kain’s rebirth.

It’s been so long since your last match, probably more than one name Cain’s legacy say absolutely nothing to you. What a tragedy! one of the best sagas action and adventure that the video game industry gave us and got lost tucked away in a drawer, has been collecting dust for almost 20 years. Even a few rumors pointing to the return of Legacy of Kain are not fueling the passion among players, as less and less players know about it. dark fantasy universe vampires and other creatures of the night dominate. And very sad. Not just because of the quality of these video games; also its history and world nosgoth they deserve more than to be forgotten. But today I don’t want to torment you with my regrets and I want to give you some hope.

Soul Reaver wasn’t the first Legacy of Kain game, but it was the most popular.After it was revealed that Embracer Group bought Eidos along with nearly 50 brands including Deus Ex, Thief or Tomb Raider, it’s impossible to get your imagination running wild about Legacy of Kain’s return. And I think the logical step is, remake from the legendary Soul Reaver. An action adventure inspired by the great The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that wowed us with its timely admirable staging, great level design, exciting combat encounters and powerful storyline. amy henningOne of those responsible for the birth of the Uncharted saga.

Soul Reaver wasn’t Kain’s first Legacy game, that honor belonged to the Blood Omen, but it was the adventure that made Kain’s revenge story its own, conquering an entire legion of players. Raziel, an infamous vampire who defies his own siblings. I say this and I have a hard time holding the emotion By imagining what it would be like to relive this adventure with available graphics and an improved combat system. Because let’s see yes Soul Reaver is a great game but years don’t go in vain for anyone and in his case there are details that can sometimes be too frustrating like a camera that can be your worst nightmare. . And what the hell. While I’m here, I want to return to the land of Nosgoth with next-gen graphics.

classic Crystal Dynamics It is one of the unforgettable adventures. exploration or puzzles, with additional areas to explore and many more secrets to discover, new game mechanics today and two aspects that can be expanded with more open scenarios. I don’t want a different game, the essence of Soul Reaver is excellent, but I think it should improve by taking the best of other great action adventures that have come out recently. It was so good that a world could be built with little; but you have to do it, and like I said, there’s no better time than now.

The last game in the series was Nosgoth, a failed MOBA.There have been more Legacy of Kain games, but if we want the saga to return to the place it deserves you have to start from the basicsretells Raziel’s origins. Something similar to what happened recently with Alan Wake or remakes of Max Payne 1 and 2. Of course we want sequels that continue the story, but after years of silence we need to create a new legion of followers, and they are. Remakes are key. At the same time, for almost a year, Soul Reaver has ceased to be available on Steam and later on GOG, with the promise of “significant updates” that we’re still waiting for. Is it possible that they’ve been working on a remake or remake for a while? We don’t have an answer yet, but if that’s not the case, I think Embracer Group will not miss the opportunity to do so.

Already the entertainment giant has promised more than 25 triple-A projects before March 2026, after acquiring companies like Gearbox, THQ Nordic or Saber Interactive. recovery from forgotten legends of the past which makes me look optimistically towards the future of Legacy of Kain. I won’t tell you it’s all over, but if there’s at least some news, I believe it won’t be as surprising as the failed launch of MOBA Nosgoth. I still think of him and I’m cold.
