Crystal Dynamics and Lost in Cult Unveil New Legacy of Kain Projects: Encyclopedia and TTRPG
Following the December 2024 release of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered, Crystal Dynamics has partnered with Lost in Cult and Cook and Becker to expand the Legacy of Kain universe with two exciting new projects.
The Book of Nosgoth, penned by Nic Reuben of Rock Paper Shotgun, promises a comprehensive exploration of the gothic world of Nosgoth. This official encyclopedia will delve into locations, factions, inhabitants, and a detailed timeline of the Kain and Raziel conflict. Beyond lore, it will feature behind-the-scenes content, including concept art, sketches, maps, and developer interviews, offering a deep dive into the creation of all five Legacy of Kain games.
Crystal Dynamics also announced Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan, a tabletop role-playing game set during the Sarafan Order's crusade against vampires. Utilizing the MÖRK BORG ruleset, this mechanics-light TTRPG will place players in the roles of Sarafan warrior priests, hunting vampires across Nosgoth and venturing into the spectral realm. The game will feature six playable classes, unique weapons and spells, a bestiary of creatures, and the diverse landscapes of Nosgoth.
Pre-orders for The Book of Nosgoth and Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan, including a combined deluxe edition bundle, are now available on Backerkit. Fans can secure their copies of these highly anticipated additions to the Legacy of Kain legacy.
