Legacy Of Kain: Defiance Rises Again With New Remaster

It's time to return to Nosgoth once again, as today's State of Play revealed a remaster of Legacy of Kain: Defiance is on the way. 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.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered officially launched on March 3 for PS5 and PS4, and preorders are opening today.

Similar to Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered, it looks like fans can expect upgraded visuals and quality-of-life changes in this remaster. The 2024 remaster of the first two Soul Reaver games was well-received after launch, with particular praise pointed at the updated graphics--with an option to swap back to the original PS1 and PS2 graphics on the fly--gameplay tweaks, and in-game galleries full of art and behind-the-scenes materials.
