Why was Legacy of Kain canceled? The history of Legacy of Kain

Why was Legacy of Kain canceled? There is lot of debate, theories, and mysteries regarding this issue, which has been haunting all the Legacy of Kain fans out there for years since the release of Defiance. The purpose of this article is to summarize all the events which ultimately led to the cancellation of Dark Prophecy after only three months of work in progress.

A long but informative read. Cool stuff.

I had no idea they were planning on making a game after Defiance. I've been hoping for a revival of the LoK series for years now, and it would be amazing if they were able to continue with the story they had planned.

zerocrossing4652d ago

A reboot or conclusion to the story would be great .

Pozzle4652d ago (Edited 4652d ago )

The awesome thing is, the devs could reboot the series and still keep the same characters and universe. With the amount of screwing around that Kain and Raziel did with time travel, they ended up erasing half the other games anyway. In fact, the only reason Blood Omen 2's storyline exists is because Defiance (or was it Soul Reaver 2? I can't remember) created a new timeline, thus creating the Blood Omen 2 plot.

So if the devs really want to reboot the series, they would only need to have Kain screw up a timeline in the next Lok game, then start a new plot from scratch in the sequel to that game. That way, it's still technically a reboot, but is also connected to the other LoK games.

If that makes any sense?

zerocrossing4652d ago (Edited 4652d ago )

Yeah that makes perfect sense, but I do watch a lot of anime, lol.

Im sure there's plenty of LoK fans out there who really want a reboot or conclusion to the story, So seeing as there's a ton of ways they could go about resurrecting the series It would make sense too, If they can make it a worthy successor to the title of Legacy of Kain.

maniacmayhem4652d ago

A remake of Blood Omen is due. Get some of that superior voice acting back. Make it tru open world and have some greta rpg elements.

Make it so.

The 7 Best Vampire Games: Embrace the Night

Vampire games are making a comeback of late, and gamers hoping this is a new trend should look back at the 7 best vampire games ever made.

SimpleSlave28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

What is a list? A miserable little pile of scribbles.

A Best Vampire Game list and no Bloodborne. A bold choice, indeed.

The_Hooligan27d ago

IMO, I wouldn't consider bloodborne a vampire game. Long story short, It's more about the side effects of the blood experiment and the influence of the red moon, than actually being a vampire.

SimpleSlave27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Yes, Bloodborne is about Vampires. It's not just the undertones, or the imagery or the obvious parallels, it's pretty much everything and then some. Here's the thing, Bram Stoker's Dracula is also not a Vampire novel. Why? Because technically Vampires from folklore were something else.

But based on our updated view of what Vampires are, informed in one way or another by Bram Stoker's Dracula, Nosferatu The Vamprye, and many other stories, and combined with From Software's own interpretation, we can say with confidence that Bloodborne IS a Vampire story. Sure, there are other elements, but the central narrative is pretty much Vampires. Which would make it THE Vampire game. I mean, Cainhurst Castle. Anyways, that's how I see it.

But to each their and we'll agree to disagree.

MEGANE27d ago

Thats the best Vampire game ever, but enough talk, have at you!.

SimpleSlave27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Absolutely... Now, die monster! You don't belong in this thread!

🧛🔥🔥 🔥

anast27d ago

I've lost all hype for Bloodlines 2. It's going to be an action game.

Barlos27d ago

No Blood Omen? Even today it's one of my favourite vampire games. We could really do with a release on modern platforms.

Relientk7727d ago

I really enjoyed Vampyr. The combat is a little clunky and could use some work. However, the story, characters, dialog. setting, and pretty much everything else in the game is great.

raWfodog210d ago

It's High Time For Legacy Of Kain To Make A Return

Crystal Dynamics' interest in Legacy of Kain and the new secret playtest rekindle hopes for the epic vampire journey's much-needed revival.

GaboonViper275d ago

I approve of this very VERY much.

ApocalypseShadow275d ago (Edited 275d ago )

Yeah. It would be nice.

But kind of hard to do when they are tasked in helping TRILLION dollar companies finish making their games. Just blows your mind right? Sucks the life right out of you like a vampire.

Shikoku274d ago

They need to do it quick the voice talent isn't getting any younger and we need a wrap up of the story of Kain and Raziel.

Miraak82 274d ago

Man I can only imagine what a modern take of Nosgoth would look like past and present. Have Blood Omen with D4 style top down graphics and Soul Reaver taking advantage of SSD and physical/spectral plain shifting with modern graphics and updated combat ,,,, drool :p Honestly they could condense soul reaver 1,2& defiance in to 1 game if they ever do a remake , make it a huge epic arpg

neutralgamer1992274d ago

Yes and start with a proper HD collection of all games
