    Legacy of Kain: War For Nosgoth

    CSC Corporate Domains, the corporate domain registrar used by Square Enix, registered a Legacy of Kain-related domain name on Thursday, internet sleuth Superannuation has discovered.

    The domain, WarForNosgoth.com (Nosgoth is an area in Legacy of Kain), could signal an upcoming announcement for the franchise, whose last new release was Legacy of Kain: Defiance in 2003.

    A new title was first rumored to be in the works two years back.

    Will be interesting to watch. A few of the key people behind Legacy of Kain are no longer at Eidos.

    Ran this by my best friend. His response:

    "Sounds like a mobile / mmo style game."

    I hate him because he's possibly right.

    Punch your friend for me if he's right.

    Nosgoth’s existence was revealed accidentally last month, but there were few details regarding the first multiplayer entry in the Legacy of Kain series. Thanks to a new Q&A session with community manager George Kellion, we know more specifics on what Legacy of Kain: Nosgoth is and isn’t.

    Considering the setting, Nosgoth seemed to be a shoe-in for the MOBA or MMO genre. Turns out that is not the case for Nosgoth as Kellion clarified:

    Nosgoth is not an MMO. It’s a competitive online multiplayer experience (…with a bit of a twist). Nosgoth will not be an MMORPG and Nosgoth doesn’t look or play anything like DoTA2 or LoL.

    While Nosgoth is unlike any other competitive online multiplayer game that I’ve played or am familiar with, the closest comparison is probably Unreal Championship 2. Not sure if Nosgoth is all that similar, but I suppose it’s closer to that than a traditional LoK game, an MMO or a MOBA.

    Nosgoth is a third-person game; there’s no first-person camera available.

    Kellion also stated that Nosgoth is currently intended for PC only and not for the mobile market, but it could expand to other platforms in the future. An interesting post over on NeoGAF by Mama Robotnik not only contains plenty of artwork for the cancelled single-player entry Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun, but also speculates how the multiplayer only Nosgoth came about. Dead Sun was intended to be a PS4 launch title and was set to include a multiplayer component. With Dead Sun cancelled, it seems the multiplayer component was pulled from the ashes and made into Nosgoth. Considering the series strong attachment to Sony consoles, it seems likely Nosgoth could eventually be released for the system it was being built for.

    Kellion was quick to point out that Nosgoth was revealed a bit earlier than intended. Those looking for screenshots and videos, much less a definitive release date, will have to wait.

    Q: Is there any specific date (or season) that you are all planning on revealing Nosgoth?”

    A: Yes, but I can’t reveal what it is yet. We announced the game early and gave details on its context, but I’m afraid there’s gonna be a bit of a gap between now and the time we release screenshots etc.

    Right now, we’re all heads-down and nose to the grindstone in the preparation phase, getting all the various materials in place etc, and we want to make sure that the game feels right before speaking about it more plainly and openly.”

    Kellion seemed to place a particular emphasis on the variety of weapons that will be included in the game. While no bullets will be present, expect to see swords, crossbows, and flamethrowers.

    Service to Shut Down on May 31st
    Denizens of Nosgoth,

    It has been more than two and a half years since we partnered with the wonderfully mad men and women at Psyonix to embark upon a rather ambitious adventure. Our goal was to bring the world of Nosgoth to life in a new and challenging manner; a manner which allowed players to wage asymmetric warfare against each other as both human and vampire-kind.

    A massive amount of work has gone into making Nosgoth a reality, and continually bringing new developments to the game. Our own teams, as well as the great guys at Psyonix, have dedicated a huge portion of themselves to making Nosgoth bigger and better over the years. Not only that, but dedicated community members provided a great deal of feedback that has been tremendously beneficial to the game. We are eternally grateful. Thank you one and all.

    The above only makes today’s announcement that much more difficult.

    It is with a heavy heart and an immense sense of sadness that we must announce the end of Nosgoth’s development. Servers will continue to run until 31st May 2016, during which time you will be able to play the game as normal. After that date, Nosgoth will be taken offline for the last time.

    This was not an easy decision to come to. It has been a pleasure to build this game with your help, but ultimately its audience hasn’t grown enough to sustain ongoing operations.

    On behalf of the entire Nosgoth team we want to thank you all for your feedback, support and dedication to the game throughout Nosgoth’s life.
