The Legacy of Kain series, featuring five main games, is known for creating some of the most memorable vampire games ever made. It began in 1996 with Blood Omen, which introduced players to Kain, a nobleman transformed into a vampire and sent on a journey across the world of Nosgoth. Soul Reaver 1 and 2 followed in 1999 and 2001, focusing on Raziel, a wraith seeking vengeance against Kain. Kain returned as the main character in Blood Omen 2 (2002), but the series reached its peak with Legacy of Kain: Defiance in 2003. Defiance, a PlayStation 2 game, uniquely let players control both Kain and Raziel as their conflict reached a dramatic conclusion. Now, more than twenty years later, this beloved dark fantasy series is getting a modern update with a remaster for the PlayStation 5.
