Award-winning creative studios Lost In Cult and Cook and Becker, in collaboration with celebrated developer Crystal Dynamics, are thrilled to announce two landmark projects that bring fans back to the grim and gothic world of Nosgoth: Legacy of Kain: The Book of Nosgoth and Legacy of Kain: Scourge of the Sarafan.
Designed to celebrate the storied franchise’s rich lore and its enduring legacy, Legacy of Kain: The Book of Nosgoth will serve as the definitive official encyclopedia that chronicles the series’ lore, characters, and development history, whilst Legacy of Kain: Scourge of the Sarafan will stand as a brand new tabletop role-playing game set during the Sarafan Order’s crusade against the vampiric scourge.
Both The Book of Nosgoth and Scourge of the Sarafan are available for pre-order through creative-focused crowdfunding platform BackerKit from today, with the Legacy of Kain Complete Edition combining the deluxe editions of both ventures in a luxurious presentation box with a flocked suede cover, textured base tray, and gold foil embossing.
“We’re incredibly excited to be diving back into the world of Nosgoth with these two passion projects,” said Ryan Brown from Lost In Cult. “Both the encyclopedia and the tabletop game have been designed with the fans in mind and we can’t wait to see them return to this beloved franchise.
Written by veteran games journalist Nic Reuben (Rock Paper Shotgun), The Book of Nosgoth features sections dedicated to Nosgoth’s varied locations, factions, and inhabitants, alongside a detailed timeline of the epic rivalry between Kain and Raziel. Readers will also find original concept art, sketches, maps, exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews with the developers, and an archival exploration of the creation of all five games, showcasing insights from the artists and visionaries behind the Gothic masterpiece.
Meanwhile, Scourge of the Sarafan – a tabletop role-playing game set during the Sarafan Order’s crusade against the vampiric scourge – will utilise the critically acclaimed MÖRK BORG ruleset and deliver a lethal and atmospheric RPG experience, featuring minimalist mechanics and high-stakes gameplay.
Players embody warrior-priests of the Sarafan Order, venturing through Nosgoth’s frozen lakes, bitter mountains, and deep, sunless forests. With six playable classes, Sarafan weapons and spells, and a bestiary of nocturnal horrors, players can forge their path in a campaign focused on vampire hunts, Nosgoth’s hidden history, and incursions into the spectral realm.
