Legacy of Kain series revival teased by Crystal Dynamics in new survey

Legacy of Kain

It seems that a Legacy of Kain revival is possibly being considered by Crystal Dynamics, if a new survey is anything to go by.

The new survey was posted by developer Crystal Dynamics, polling fans on what their favorite titles in the series are, how they rate each game, and even whether they prefer the eponymous Kain or his lieutenant, Raziel as a protagonist.


However further into the survey fans get a tantalizing question: what would they prefer the next game in the Legacy of Kain series to be? The options you can select include:

  • Remaster of one of the original games (i.e. enhance the quality of one of the original games)
  • Reboot of the series
  • Sequel to the original games
  • Remake of one of the original games (i.e. rebuild one of the original games from the ground up)

It’s worth noting that the above four options in the survey are set to be put in order of which you prefer most – so Crystal Dynamics is considering everything when it comes to reviving the beloved series.

The survey then goes on to ask which of the five main games in the series they’d like to see get a remake or remaster, and whether or not they’d like to see a story recap in these purported re-releases. It also asks what modern game most resembles what they’d expect a new Kain title would play like, and what media most resembles the tone of the series.

The survey also asks more intricate questions like what they enjoy most in vampire games, i.e. blood feeding, immortality, magic, and so on. Interestingly, the survey also asks which of the supporting characters are the player’s most favorite, and what other vampire games they’ve enjoyed the most (aside from the Legacy of Kain series, of course).

It’s very possible that the Embracer Group buyout of Crystal Dynamics will lead to a revival of the series, as the parent company and its subsidiaries have been bringing several IPs back from the dead with their seemingly endless cash.
