Kain is deified. The fans tell tales of him, few know the truth…
…because the last mainline entry in the series was released a depressing 22 years ago and, since then, the franchise has faded into obscurity.

Legacy of Kain has one of the most talented self-sustaining communities I’ve ever encountered and, as a long-suffering fan, I have been the beneficiary of their passion.
