Legacy Of Kain: Defiance Rises Again With New Remaster https://ift.tt/pPxndjY

The Legacy of Kain series is rising from its slumber once again, as today's State of Play revealed not one but two projects that will see players return to Nosgoth. Fans of the classic games can look forward to a remaster of Legacy of Kain: Defiance when it launches on March 3 for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Switch.

Released back in 2003, Defiance was the third chapter in the Soul Reaver saga. The big twist here was that Raziel and Kain were both playable characters, allowing players to step into the boots of the vampire lord and his former lieutenant. Crystal Dynamics has been working on the Defiance remaster for several years alongside PlayEveryWare, a team with credits on several video game ports.

Similar to Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered, you can expect upgraded visuals and cinematics, remastered audio, and several gameplay changes. The combat tutorial is now an independent feature, a new photo mode has been added, and the game's fixed camera has been replaced with a new free-floating camera system. Players can also switch to the original camera angles for an old-school experience, and the canonical map of Nosgoth introduced in the previous Soul Reaver remasters is back. It has also been enhanced with a new feature, Foresight Navigation, which essentially lets players better track their objectives on the map.
