I still can't believe they cancelled this game, based on the gameplay it really has a Shadow of Mordor feeling to it, but I am not even sure if this game's development started before Shadow of Mordor or after.

If you don't know the series, Legacy of Kain is a dark fantasy, vampire series with deep narrative and story, mixed with a good combat system. There hasn't been a new game in the series for 10+ years now, Soul Reaver 1-2, Blood Omen 1-2 and Defiance were really brilliant games.

It's really sad to see this series disappear, being a fan I personally view Nosgoth as an insult because how it breaks away from the previous games, and in fact it was salvaged from Dead Sun and turned into a multiplayer fragfest. (I've tried it myself)

You can see how far the development team came with the game, it had a ton of potential.

Are there any LoK fans here?
What do you think about this cancelled title?
Do you think it would have had potential?
