Crystal Dynamics and Lost in Cult Announce New Legacy of Kain 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: An Official Encyclopedia
The first project, The Book of Nosgoth, is a comprehensive encyclopedia of the Legacy of Kain setting, Nosgoth. Penned by Nic Reuben of Rock Paper Shotgun, this volume promises a deep dive into Nosgoth's locations, factions, characters, and the epic Kain/Raziel conflict, complete with a detailed timeline. Beyond lore, the book will feature behind-the-scenes content including concept art, sketches, maps, and developer interviews, offering a complete history of the series' five games.
Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan – A Tabletop RPG
The second announcement is Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan, a tabletop role-playing game set during the Sarafan Order's war against vampires. Utilizing the MÖRK BORG ruleset, this TTRPG offers a mechanics-light, high-stakes experience where players take on the roles of Sarafan warrior-priests. Expect six playable classes, unique weapons and spells, a bestiary of creatures, and the exploration of Nosgoth's diverse landscapes, including incursions into the spectral realm. The campaign focuses on vampire hunts, uncovering Nosgoth's hidden history, and navigating the supernatural.
Pre-orders Now Open
Both The Book of Nosgoth and Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan are available for pre-order on Backerkit. A Legacy of Kain Complete Edition bundle, including deluxe editions of both products, is also offered.
