Fans Desperate for a New Legacy of Kain Game

Fans desperate for a new Legacy of Kain game often point to the unfinished story as their main motivation. The wait may be longer than we expect, so many fans turn their attention to the series’ past, calling for a remake or remaster of the first four games. While I’d love to see a new game in the series, I’d also argue that revisiting the older Legacy of Kain games is the best way to get closure on the series.

Raziel: The Iconic Protagonist

The protagonist Raziel is my favorite character in the series, and I’d love to see his story through to the end. However, I’d also like to see the series’ atmospheric narrative brought to a wider audience. I think the fan-favorite series is ripe for a re-release, and I’ve already put together a list of reasons why a Legacy of Kain remake would be worth the wait.

Fans are desperate for more Blood Omen and Soul Reaver content, and I’d be among the first to buy it. However, I also feel that the cliffhanger of the series is frustrating for fans, and I’d like to see that resolved. Therefore, I’d argue that a remake of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver would be the best way to give fans closure.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Temporarily Removed from Sale

The news that Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was temporarily removed from sale on GOG hints at possible updates, although it’s not clear what that means. While there may be something in the works, it’s also possible that there’s nothing new to report. If that’s the case, it’s important to remember that there’s no official support for the game.

It’s possible that a fan-driven petition or social media campaign could persuade Square Enix to revisit the series, but there’s no way to know for sure. Even so, it’s clear that there’s a passionate fanbase for the games, and that there’s a lot of love for the series.

In fact, I’d argue that Legacy of Kain is one of the best series ever made. Whether or not you’ve played them, you’re likely aware of Kain and Raziel through popular merchandise and fan art. I’ve always been drawn to the iconic vampire, and I’m not alone in that.

Whether you’re a vampire or not, there’s something to be learned from the Legacy of Kain fandom. It reminds us that even fantastic stories are worth fighting for, and that there’s value in expressing your love for a game, character, or series.

Whether or not we’ll see a new Legacy of Kain game in the near future, it’s clear that there may be something in the works. Leaked footage from an abandoned Legacy of Kain remake leaked a few years ago, but nothing has been confirmed. If you’re desperate for something new, I’d recommend playing one of the best Tomb Raider games instead.
