Many gamers may not remember the Legacy of Kain series. Not having an official release since 2003, I myself only experienced Soul Reaver as a passing fancy, back in the days of my youth when PS1 demo discs were still a thing. Nosgoth sought to fill that gap, finding Square Enix partnering with Psyonix to provide a free-to-play multiplayer experience set within the Legacy of Kain universe—and if anyone knows multiplayer it’s Psyonix. Nosgoth offers fans something they can love, and also gives newcomers a fun game they can enjoy even without knowing much about the franchise. CGM sat down with System Designer at Psyonix, Jacob Mott and Design Director at Square Enix, Bill Beacham to discuss Nosgoth’s creation and future coming out of early access.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
Atlus is releasing their game one week before Erdtree, SE is releasing theirs one week after.
HZD released four days before Zelda, HFW released one week before Elden Ring.
It seems to me like they are still releasing their games too close to Erdtree.
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
The first Blood Omen, Soul Reaver and its sequel are a few of the best stories to be found in gaming! I hope that one day this series gets a true revival in the form of a fully-fledged story-based sequel or faithful spin-off (not Dead Sun though).
Ill try it out.. Love that series.. Not sure about the F2P aspect though
Nosgoth is a hollow POS area moba. Its not a legacy of kain.
To me nosgoth isn't in that series. I understand same universe but the original games had such amazing stories and gameplay. I picked up all three recently off steam for like 8 bucks total. Still great games that hold up. I would be all over a reboot of this game.
Meh. Give us a real Legacy of Kain game! Heck, I'll even settle with a reboot/remake!
