Promising visually enhanced reimaginings of Crystal Dynamics’ critically acclaimed classics are, in themselves, an enticing proposition for many; yet, the upcoming release will also feature additional bonus content, further elevating its appeal. As part of its recent blog post on the upcoming remastered version, developer Aspyr has provided additional details about what players can expect in terms of new features and enhancements.
Among the numerous bonuses of this game’s remastered version are four misplaced ranges that grant players the opportunity to uncover previously inaccessible areas removed from the original game. While exploring the world of Legacy of Kain, fans can now rely on a novel Lore Reader, boasting fresh maps featuring poetic descriptions of locales and events. This innovative feature has been co-created with the esteemed leadership and influential community members of the Legacy of Kain Fandom, in close collaboration with Crystal Dynamics’ accomplished artists. Will every map allow players to seamlessly switch between its original and twisted versions?
The remastered edition will likely feature a Galleries section, comprising fresh and classic high-definition renderings, upgraded versions of the original game’s full-motion video (FMV) cinematic scenes, concept art for enthusiasts to explore, as well as exclusive credits, demo reels, and outtakes. The Darkish Chronicles section boasts a comprehensive, text-based rendition of each game’s complete script.
The soundtracks from each distinct video game are potentially also up for inclusion. With the distinctive soundtrack of the duology’s music as a foundation, listeners can also anticipate a selection of fresh compositions, including notable tracks such as “Priestess Encounter” and “Spirit Forge”.
Is set to release simultaneously on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on December 10th.
