A free-to-play third-person action game designed mainly with multiplayer gameplay in mind. The title is set in the universe known from the cult Legacy of Kain series, although the story is unrelated to the previous games. The game was created by a small studio Psyonix, who worked on the multiplayer modes for games like Bulletstorm, Gears of War, or Mass Effect 3.

Nosgoth for PC is an online free-to-play third-person action game set in the universe of Legacy of Kain, a cult action adventure game series. The title does not continue the story of the aforementioned franchise nor will we encounter any familiar characters in it. What is more, it was not developed by Crystal Dynamics but Psyonix, which specializes in the development of multiplayer modes to other games (the team was involved in the production of Bulletstorm, Gears of War, and Mass Effect 3, among other games).

Story

As mentioned above, Nosgoth has little in common with the previous installments of the Legacy of Kain series, including the story. The world of Nosgoth is torn by the war between humans and vampires. Both races seek to dominate the entire land. In their strive, Homo sapiens rely on advanced technology, while the bloodsuckers prefer brute strength and their incredible inborn abilities. This conflict takes place after the events of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.
