A recent PS5 remaster of a beloved PlayStation 2 action game is now available, allowing players to experience a classic franchise in a new way.
What PS5 remaster is available now?
Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered is now accessible on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game is currently listed on the PlayStation Store for $29.99. Early buyers who pre-ordered received exclusive “Shifter” character skins for Kain and Raziel, inspired by the origins of the Soul Reaver series.
Originally launched in 2003, Legacy of Kain: Defiance is the final addition to the series in chronological order. It continues the saga of vampire lord Kain and his former lieutenant turned ghostly ally Raziel, as Kain endeavors to undo his past mistakes and restore the fallen land of Nosgoth.
The remastered version boasts updated HD visuals, smoother controls, a modernized camera system, and several extras, including a photo mode, alternative character skins, and unreleased content from the original game.
Additionally, earlier this year, a new game in the franchise was announced. Legacy of Kain: Ascendance, developed by Bit Bot Media in partnership with FreakZone Games, is a fast-paced 2D action platformer. Set as a prequel to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, it features a retro-inspired art style while keeping some 3D elements from the PlayStation 1 era for key story moments, complemented by anime-style cutscenes.
Preorders for Ascendance are also available today as part of the “Heart of Darkness” Collection for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, which combines both titles into a single bundle priced at $44.99.
