Having said that, now that Crystal Dynamics has regained ownership of Legacy of Kain and other IPs like Tomb Raider, it appears that they’re ready to revisit the iconic franchise. As per Twisted Voxel, Crystal Dynamics sent out feelers in the form of surveys that asked the users if they were interested in a remake, reboot, or sequel to Legacy of Kain. In addition to this, the survey asked users about their interest in vampire video games as well as if they’ve had previous experience with the older Legacy of Kain titles. The departure of Amy Hennig effectively ended the Legacy of Kain franchise. It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that Hennig is Legacy of Kain. She’s even described the series as her “greatest achievement.” We’re curious to see how Crystal Dynamics will make a successful Legacy of Kain game if Hennig isn’t involved. But, it’s highly unlikely that they’ll dive deep into the iconic franchise just like that. The ideal route is to remaster Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, which is considered the best in the series. After this, Crystal Dynamics can feel out the market to see if there is a demand. If the game sells more than enough to recoup development costs, then it’ll have proven that gamers still want to see a new Legacy of Kain game. But, if it doesn’t sell as well as expected, then at least they’ll have crossed one more game off of their to-do list. At this point, Legacy of Kain fans don’t care what form a new game takes. What’s important is that it happens. In the meantime, fans of the franchise can look forward to what’s next for the former series director, Amy Hennig. After departing Naughty Dog, Hennig is now working with Marvel on a new comic book video game starring Captain America and Black Panther and something set in the Star Wars universe.
