This news I’m sure is going to have a lot of people dancing in the streets. Square Enix have today announced that not only will Amy Hennig be returning to Crystal Dynamics, but that she is doing so in order to create a new Legacy of Kain game.
In a similar vein to 2010’s Deus Ex: Human Revolution, The New Legacy of Kain game- Ariel’s Fall will act as a prequel to the original Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen.
Although details are relatively sparse at this moment, It has been revealed that the game will deal with the corruption of the Pillars of Nosgoth and the assassination of Ariel, the original balance guardian whose death set in motion the series of events that resulted in the fall of Nosgoth and Kain’s resurrection as a Vampire.
Legacy of Kain: Ariel’s Fall is due out on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2016…
APRIL FOOLS!
Some of you were clever enought to see that this story was a terrible fake. As Stalin once said ‘you can’t trust anything you read on the internet… espeically on April Fools Day’
It turns out there are certain sacred cows and mentioning the chance of a new mainline Legacy of Kain game is one of them, and I not only pissed off the cow, but rode it straight into a metaphorical slaughterhouse.
As such I’ve decided to go into hiding, there’s an angry mob of Legacy of Kain fans that said they were going to exsanguinate me and then throw me into a swirling vortex or burning and darkness. Wait then I’ll be Raziel…..
Special thanks go to A New Legacy of Kain Game Please Square Enix campaign Group, for being such good sports when i dropped this on them yesterday morning and for their tireless campaigning and lobbying so that one day Kain and Raziel may return to our consoles and PCs. I’d also like to thank the creator of this lovely piece of fan art I pinched for the story. Go see the original in all its glory here.
