Project Update: Legacy of Kain Encylopaedia/TTRPG - Big September Update! 📢
We’ve made fantastic progress on the TTRPG and have been working closely with Crystal Dynamics and The Ancient’s Den to ensure it stays true to the series whilst also offering room for fans to get creative with the world and its inhabitants. We aim to have a complete first draft of Legacy of Kain: Scourge of the Sarafan in the next few weeks!
“Talking through the lore for the TTRPG has been a great catalyst for the Legacy of Kain franchise team. We’ve been able to clarify how to approach the storied world of Nosgoth, how to support creatives and fans to generate new stories, while honoring and celebrating the existing work. We’re developing that balance and muscle together.” - Matt McCloskey, Legacy of Kain Franchise GM.
"It’s a deep honour for us to help write the story of this timeless franchise and etch these Arcane Tomes in stone. As deeply engaged fans and keepers of the Nosgoth flame, we are thrilled for the opportunity to memorialise what has gone before, and to provide the bedrock for the series moving forward.” - The Ancient’s Den.
Our focus throughout this process has been to do right by Legacy of Kain and the people who hold it dear. As the very first official encyclopedia and tabletop role-playing game, there are many nuances to consider. We are thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to really dig into the lore, and the chance to work alongside the team at Crystal Dynamics to explore what’s possible has been magnificent.
To ensure we do it justice, we are going to need a bit of extra time and, as such, we are targeting Q2 2026 for shipping, rather than the aforementioned Q1 2026. Whilst we know that this will be disappointing news, we know that what we are developing is such a collective celebration of Legacy of Kain and this slight additional time will allow us to fully realise our ambitions for this project.

Project Update: Prototypes are here!
*Please note that these aren’t representative of the final product and subject to change.
The next few months will involve more prototyping, some additional testing, and both writing and artwork submissions. We will endeavour to keep you updated as we get ever closer to getting this into your hands.
The joy which filled my heart on learning of this project and TDSR was almost painful. I have loved this world dearly. Playing the remasters has brought tears to my eyes. I've not brought myself to read my digital TDSR since I witnessed the feedback - because it is the last direction in all the known timestreams that I ever thought my beloved story would go. I didn't even consider till today that TDSR would taint this project. The perfection of the original story will only be diminished if it is framed by this new content. This was a large investment by myself in a franchise I hoped would be revived, but not at the cost of its integrity.

I would literally be willing to wait longer to have any references to Elaleth scoured from these volumes. I will wait longer for less content. Please don't ruin this project with that garbage character.
