Legacy of Kain Devs Announce New Encyclopedia and TTRPG Set in Nosgoth

Crystal Dynamics and Lost in Cult Announce New Legacy of Kain Projects

Crystal Dynamics, in collaboration with UK-based Lost in Cult and Cook and Becker, has announced two exciting additions to the Legacy of Kain universe: a comprehensive encyclopedia and a tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG). These projects follow the December 2024 release of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered.

The Book of Nosgoth: An Encyclopedia of Nosgoth

The first project, The Book of Nosgoth, is an official encyclopedia penned by Nic Reuben of Rock Paper Shotgun. This in-depth guide explores the world of Nosgoth, detailing its locations, factions, inhabitants, and the epic Kain-Raziel conflict. It features a detailed timeline and includes behind-the-scenes content such as concept art, sketches, maps, and developer interviews, offering a comprehensive look at the creation of all five Legacy of Kain games.

Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan – A New TTRPG

The second project, Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan, is a TTRPG set during the Sarafan Order's war against vampires. Utilizing the MÖRK BORG ruleset, this mechanics-light game lets players become Sarafan warrior priests, hunting vampires across Nosgoth and venturing into the spectral realm. The game includes six playable classes, unique weapons and spells, a bestiary of creatures, and the diverse landscapes of Nosgoth.

Pre-orders Now Open

Both The Book of Nosgoth and Legacy of Kain: Scourge of Sarafan are available for pre-order on Backerkit, along with a combined "Complete Edition" bundle offering deluxe versions of both.
