Last month, developer Crystal Dynamics announced that it had retained the rights to some of its biggest franchises following the move to Embracer Group. Those franchises include Tomb Raider, of course, but also Legacy of Kain, the team's late 90soriginal Xbox-era dark fantasy action series. Well, the dev now wants to know how much you'd like the see the latter return.
CD has posted an online survey asking fans about the Legacy of Kain series. At present, the survey seems to be trying to gauge general interest in the series, asking questions about whether participants have played any Legacy of Kain games, whether they've watched any videos of the series online in recent years, etc.
The survey doesn't provide a concrete answer as to whether LoK will come back, but clearly, the developer is showing some interest in returning to the IP. Another Tomb Raider instalment was always an inevitability given its popularity, but whether Legacy of Kain would actually return following the move seemed less likely. The team continues to mention it though, so it's certainly possible.
Anyone can access and fill in the survey, so if you'd like to see this franchise return, it might be a good idea to let Crystal Dynamics know how much you're into the series!
Would you like to see Legacy of Kain come back? Let us know in the comments.

These games were great, would love some remakes or at the very least re-release of the older games in the meantime. Hope this leads to something soon!
re release the older games and make a new one!
Hi there fellow gamers.
Big Fan of the franchise and I´m really glad that Crystal Dynamics are actually doing this survey.
I do wish for a proper sequel over a remaster, though a remake could be nice.
This is kinda tricky for newcomers to the series, sice there is a LOT of story and lore between all games, but I still would very much for them to actually finish and conclude the story.
LoK: Defiance was not the "real" ending. There is much more to tell, wich is why CD would need to either get Amy Henning´s notes or better yet, get Amy Henning herself to write the story.
Nevertheless, this is still very good news for LoK fans.
Really hope they can actually gather enough feedback and bring this beloved and great series back.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and all the best
The answer is yes, yes, and yes. Bring back the series ASAP, but make sure it’s good!
I would love to replay the older games. Maybe remaster one of them and they can see how well it does. If it does well, they can look into a new one.
I'm not sure how well it would do if they are looking for nostalgia, the games were fun. I just don't know if it is enough. We need some new games. I'm pretty set with rehashes personally.
I just want a proper ending to the series.
I'd love a new one. Wasn't crazy about Soul Reaver but I adored Blood Omen. I asked them several times throughout the survey to bring back Simon Templeman to voice Kain again.
Really glad to see that they're considering this, and that they're gathering feedback so intentionally.
I'm curious to hear what you guys thought about the questions regarding inspiration from other media: that is, which other games/movies/etc. have the kind of tone or gameplay style we want to see from the Legacy of Kain series.
PS: I know it's not on modern Xbox consoles, but the whole series can be had for a few bucks on PC- minus Soul Reaver at the moment, which has been temporarily delisted to allow for "some important updates", interestingly enough.
