Could Crystal Dynamic’s Twitter Posts Hint at a Legacy of Kain Remake?

Never underestimate the power of a short and simple tease, because all a game developer has to do to get gamers hyped and speculating is post a simple tweet about a beloved game franchise.

Last week, Crystal Dynamics posted two images on its Twitter feed. These images are artwork of the main characters of the legendary Legacy of Kain franchise: Kain and Raziel. And yesterday, the company updated its Twitter page with the following:

Yep, that’s Raziel again, but these three tweets raise an important question: what’s with all the Legacy of Kain tweets? Granted, the October 13th post is just a retweet of sorts of artist Joanna Wolska‘s amazing artwork, but what about the October 12th post? And the October 19th post? They are of official Legacy of Kain artwork, not fan art, and god knows there’s plenty of that to go around. But, that still doesn’t answer the question why Crystal Dynamics posted all these Legacy of Kain tweets. Well, the people who responded to the tweets (and the thread on NeoGAF) have come to the same conclusion: Legacy of Kain is making a comeback.

I have already talked about why Legacy of Kain deserves a remake/reboot in my Top 10 Games That Need to Be Rebooted article, as well as the actual attempt at a reboot/sequel that was Legacy of Kain: Dead Sun (the game was cancelled, but a YouTube video is available to show gamers what could have been). While the tweets don’t openly mention any official remake or reboot, most commentors have taken them as a sign that Crystal Dynamics wants to bring the franchise back for a new generation. However, nobody can quite agree on whether it should be a straight-up remaster with better graphics and no other changes (would a good way to hear Tony Jay’s dulcet tones again) or a remake with updated gameplay with combat similar to The Witcher 3 or NieR: Automata.

Only time will tell if the tweets are Crystal Dynamics’ way of stating it plans to remake/reboot the Legacy of Kain franchise or just the company celebrating the Halloween spirit with the best video game vampires ever made.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

Want Diablo 4 immortality? Hardcore Level 100 Before Most Others

The devilish launch of Diablo 4 is days away (less for Ultimate Edition buyers). Blizzard has promised the ultimate reward for the first 1000 players to accomplish level 100 on Hardcore Mode: a statue of in-game antagonist Lillith.

Diablo 4’s Hardcore Mode is a character-creation-only difficulty adjuster. It automatically deletes characters when they die, making things infinitely harder regardless of World Tier. But 100? That’s several playthroughs on increasingly difficult World Tiers with new adversaries in harsher setups and about 150 hours of flawlessly rapid gameplay.

Honoring the dying.

Being remembered with those brave souls lost on the journey is the ultimate gamer boast. Do you dare?

Bloober Team’s survival horror game Layers of Fear is terrifying. The Trophy List on Exophase just appeared, and players will have to go crazy to obtain Platinum.

With a Silver Trophy like “a new way” requiring players to “live through the third conversation” (and a few of Bronzes for surviving the previous two) and another called “face your fears” appearing when you “see your enemy and fail”, we might chase this one with the lights on.

Do you like Layers of Fear’s whole trophy list? Do you want the Plat?

The PlayStation Showcase, which divided fans and prompted our full-throated Reaction, was a ratings winner. Gamesight’s number crunchers found that PlayStation fans were drawn in by the appeal alone, even though many of the titles we wanted to see didn’t show up.

It’s possible certain Showcase games were withheld. Summer Game Fest may bring something? Watched the big spectacle live?
