Legacy of Kainโข Reboot Canceled by Embracer Group After Oneโ Year ofโข Progress
MONTREAL – Aโ reboot โฃof theโ beloved legacy of Kain franchise was in development at โคEidos Montreal for approximately one year before being canceled following Embracer Group’s acquisition of the studio, Insider Gaming reports. The project, internally referred โขto as “P16” – signifying Eidos Montreal’s 16th project – was described as a “soft-reboot” ofโ the series.
Former Eidos Montreal employees’ resumes list work on a “Dark Fantasy action RPG” featuring melee combat and โขparkour gameplay, which Insider Gaming has confirmed was intended to revitalize the Legacy of Kain universe. Development reportedly progressed smoothly, resulting in limited playable gameplay.
Embracer Group ultimately pulled funding for theโฃ project and later sold the Legacy of Kain franchise back to Crystal Dynamics. It remains unclear if Crystal Dynamics has plans to continue developmentโข on the reboot or any future Legacy โคof Kain titles.
