Lost in Cult and Cook and Becker Announce Legacy of Kain Encyclopedia
Crystal Dynamics, the acclaimed California-based game developer, has announced two thrilling projects for the Legacy of Kain franchise, following the successful release of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered in December 2024. In collaboration with the UK-based creative design studio Lost In Cult and Dutch art dealership Cook and Becker, these projects promise to enrich the Legacy of Kain universe.
“We’re incredibly excited to be diving back into the world of Nosgoth with these two passion projects,” said Ryan Brown of Lost In Cult.
The first project, The Book of Nosgoth, is an official encyclopedia that delves deep into the gothic world of Nosgoth, the heart of the Legacy of Kain series. Authored by Nic Reuben of Rock Paper Shotgun, this comprehensive guide will explore Nosgoth’s locations, factions, and inhabitants, alongside a detailed timeline of the epic rivalry between Kain and Raziel.
Beyond its lore, The Book of Nosgoth will offer behind-the-scenes insights into the development of the Legacy of Kain games. Fans can look forward to 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, providing a thorough look at the series’ production history.
An Official Legacy of Kain TTRPG Will Also Be Releasing Soon
The second project, Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan, is an atmospheric tabletop role-playing game set during the Sarafan Order’s crusade against the vampiric scourge in Nosgoth. Utilizing the acclaimed MÖRK BORG ruleset, this TTRPG promises a mechanics-light, high-stakes gameplay experience where players take on the roles of the Sarafan Order’s warrior priests.
With six playable classes, unique weapons and spells, an official bestiary of nocturnal horrors, and the expansive landscape of Nosgoth, Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan allows players to craft their own narratives centered around vampire hunts, uncovering Nosgoth’s hidden history, and exploring the spectral realm.
