Lost in Cult and Cook and Becker Announced Legacy of Kain Encyclopedia

Following the December 2024 release of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered, Crystal Dynamics, a renowned game developer based in California, has announced two new projects in collaboration with UK creative studio Lost In Cult and Dutch art dealership Cook and Becker. Ryan Brown of Lost In Cult expressed their excitement about exploring the world of Nosgoth with these passion projects.

The first project, The Book of Nosgoth, is an official encyclopedia penned by Nic Reuben of Rock Paper Shotgun. This comprehensive guide will delve into the gothic world of Nosgoth, covering its locations, factions, and inhabitants, along with a detailed timeline of the epic rivalry between Kain and Raziel. Beyond the lore, the book will provide behind-the-scenes insights into the development of the Legacy of Kain games, featuring original concept art, sketches, maps, and exclusive developer interviews. It will offer a deep dive into the creation of all five titles in the series.

An Official Legacy of Kain TTRPG Will Also Be Releasing Soon

The second project, Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan, is a tabletop role-playing game set in Nosgoth during the Sarafan Order’s crusade against vampires. Using the acclaimed MÖRK BORG ruleset, this TTRPG promises a mechanics-light yet high-stakes gameplay experience. Players will take on the roles of Sarafan warrior priests, exploring six playable classes, wielding unique weapons and spells, and facing a bestiary of nocturnal horrors across Nosgoth’s landscape. The game will allow players to explore vampire hunts, uncover hidden histories, and venture into the spectral realm.
