- Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is back thanks to GOG - 30 September 2021
What if The Legend of Zelda was grim, bloody, and full of vampires? The answer to that question has been around since the 90s with the Legacy of Kain series, but the game which kicked the lineage off has been notably absent from most modern digital distribution services. But now, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is once again available on PC thanks to GOG. You can grab Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain now on GOG at a 10% launch discount, bringing the price down to $6.29 USD. The game is landing as part of GOG's 13th anniversary event, which is also bringing access to Elvira: Mistress of the Dark and Elvira II: The Jaws of Cerberus for some appropriate times heading into Halloween. Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain is a top-down action-adventure game where you take control of a vampire named Kain. You've got to keep seeking out blood to stay alive, while exploring the world, solving puzzles, and engaging i…
- A Final Farewell - Remembering Nosgoth's good times. - 2 June 2016
Nosgoth’s final day has been and gone, and the game has now entered an eternal slumber. We would like to thank everyone who took up arms against vampire-kind, or sank their fangs into digital flesh. We hope that you enjoyed your time with the game. Many friendships were formed around Nosgoth, and many an epic moment resulted in tumultuous laughing until the point of nearly passing out. These are the memories and experiences that we hope you hold on to, and take with you from your time with the game. Those are certainly the memories that will remain with us the longest. With Nosgoth’s good times in mind, we hope that you all have many more moments of mayhem & hilarity with the new games that you turn to over the coming days, weeks, months and years. Nosgoth will live on in all of our memories. Farewell, The Nosgoth Team
- Dusted: Legacy Of Kain F2P Spin-Off Nosgoth Cancelled - 8 April 2016
Square Enix have announced that they are cancelling Nosgoth , the free-to-play humans vs. vampires multiplayer game vaguely connected to the Legacy of Kain series. It entered beta in January 2015 and will close down in May without having properly launched. It wasn’t popular enough to keep going, Square Enix say, which always invites a lot of finger-pointing. Squeenix will keep the servers online for people to play until May 31st, when Nosgoth will suffer final death. …
- A Farewell To Arms - Nosgoth’s Final Days Are Upon Us - 8 April 2016
Denizens of Nosgoth, It has been more than two and a half years since we partnered with the wonderfully mad men and women at Psyonix to embark upon a rather ambitious adventure. Our goal was to bring the world of Nosgoth to life in a new and challenging manner; a manner which allowed players to wage asymmetric warfare against each other as both human and vampire-kind. A massive amount of work has gone into making Nosgoth a reality, and continually bringing new developments to the game. Our own teams, as well as the great guys at Psyonix, have dedicated a huge portion of themselves to making Nosgoth bigger and better over the years. Not only that, but dedicated community members provided a great deal of feedback that has been tremendously beneficial to the game. We are eternally grateful. Thank you one and all. The above only makes today’s announcement that much more difficult. It is wit…
- Patch Notes - Balance & Bug Crushing - 23rd March 2016 - 23 March 2016
Today's update primarily focuses on crushing bugs and making a number of balancing tweaks. Sonic Boom Following a considerable amount of feedback from the community, we have made a number of changes to Sonic Boom in order to bring it more closely in line with other abilities in Nosgoth. Minimum Cooldown: Sonic Boom’s minimum cooldown timer is now just under 8 seconds. Trigger Time & Sound Effect: Sonic Boom now features a 0.75s trigger time combined with a sound effect, providing the human team with a small amount of warning prior to the attack. Crash On Exit As of the update on the 14th of March, the Nosgoth executable had a difficult time saying farewell to you lovely people, and would often embrace your PC with an unrelenting farewell hug. We’ve sat down with the executable and had a heart to heart chat. It now understands that while a wonderful notion, not everyone can play 24/7. No…
- Patch Notes: The Beastmaster is LIVE! As are Daily Challenges & Much more - 15 March 2016
Emerging from their humble abodes throughout the wilderness of Nosgoth, it’s time for the Beastmasters to stand and be counted in the ongoing war against the vampire scourge. The Beastmaster - The Scourge of the Wild Bloody-handed mystics who serve as vengeful instruments of the natural order, the Scourge have sworn to cleanse Nosgoth of the blight of Vampire-kind no matter what the cost. Beastmasters are ruthless fighters who use powerful firearms and primal magic to purge their foes, but are best known for their supernatural ability to temporarily take on the form of a bird of prey and take to the air to continue the hunt. Check out the Beastmaster’s Class Warfare video for full details about the next fighter to enter the fray. http://i.imgur.com/B4wkPod.png Daily Challenges http://esploded.s3.amazonaws.com/user_data/GooieGreen/w6eT-DailyChallenges3.png Daily Challenges have replaced…
- Grappling to Freedom: Just Cause 3 & Nosgoth Join Forces - 15 March 2016
Whether fighting frenzied monstrosities looking to sink their ever-thirsty fangs deep into a warm and welcoming jugular, or working to overthrow an oppressive regime; the humble grappling hook has become a tool of choice for many a freedom fighter. It’s not difficult to see why the grappling hook has become symbolic of freedom. Empowering you to soar through the sky, grappling hooks free the wielder from the earthly bindings of gravity, if only for a few moments. It is this rebellious nature and life affirming freedom that we look to celebrate with a union between Nosgoth & Just Cause 3. Anyone who owns both Nosgoth & Just Cause 3 on Steam will automatically receive the following items when they next log into Nosgoth. 1 x JC3 Grapple 1 x Medici Liberator Player Banner 1 x Medici Rebel Player Banner 1 x 2000 Gold This offer extends to all new players who log into JC3 and Nosgoth, so if y…

- League Beta 4.0 Prize Update - 20 February 2016
http://i.imgur.com/g3HCDgR.png Denizens of Nosgoth, We want to provide you with a quick update with regards to the League Beta 4.0 prizing and its delivery. As mentioned before, all in-game content (including keys and the Sentinel’s new ability, Sonic Boom), will be delivered alongside the next game release. Players who have reached Eternal during Beta 4.0, do not fear if you haven't heard from us yet. We have not sent out any emails just yet with regards to your cash prize, as we’re waiting for the next game update to go live before sending out the mail blast. We’re currently working to crush a handful of bugs before getting the next game update onto your PC. We don’t have a specific timeline as to when that’ll be as these bugs have proven to be tricky little critters, but we’re working through it as quickly as possible. This delay should not affect the distribution of League Beta 5.0…
- Beastmaster - Class Warfare - GAMEPLAY VIDEO - 11 February 2016
With so much speculation surrounding the Beastmaster and how he'll play, particularly with regards to his Treshawk form, we figured the best way to clear things up would be to simply show you. You've been asking to see the Beastmaster in action and here he is, hot off the presses! Presenting, the Beastmaster: http://i.imgur.com/B4wkPod.png For those wondering when they can get their hands on Nosgoth's next class, we published an update about that yesterday. You can read the full details here, but the tl;dr version is that we've got a few more bugs to crush, and a bit more polish to apply to the update as a whole before it'll be ready to be sent to your PCs. The update won't be sent out this week, but it shouldn't be too long before you get your hands on the Beastmaster.
- Nosgoth Q&A - 8 February 2016
http://i.imgur.com/PTgyL8w.png Hello there everyone! We’re right in the middle of an extremely busy, and exciting, time for Nosgoth. The Silenced Cathedral is live, the Beastmaster is nearly here and Nosgoth’s release/move out of Early Access is fast approaching. We've been super busy over the last few weeks, and so haven't been able to be as active on the forum as we would like. With so much happening around Nosgoth, we felt it about time to gather up a big heaping pile of community questions, and do our best to answer as many as we can. We’ll answer some of the most pressing questions on our next Community live stream (which we’re tentatively targeting for sometime either this or next week), so that you can ask follow-up questions in chat. If we don’t get to answer your question on the live stream, we’ll try to answer as many of them as we can in the forum. To try and make sure that e…

- NEW MAP IS LIVE!: The War for Nosgoth Expands to Silenced Cathedral! - 21 January 2016
For info about the Community Livestream with giveaways & dev Q&A's please read the article to the end. Once a bastion of Human hope, the Silenced Cathedral was overrun by the Vampire scourge many moons ago. Now, with the Human uprising gathering momentum, the time is right for men and women the world over to lay claim to the work that their forefathers wrought. Today, we are extremely happy to expand the fight for Nosgoth to a new theatre of war; the Silenced Cathedral! Set at the base of one of the most infamous structures within the Legacy of Kain universe; Silenced Cathedral sees Vampire and Human-kind fight for control of this key location. Silenced Cathedral. What’s in a name? Oh so much. There’s a good reason that tales of fay beings who do the bidding of those who wield their true name are commonplace around the globe. When we first announced the Silenced Cathedral, we were torn…
- 5v5 Death & Destruction Descends Upon Nosgoth - 20 January 2016
The stench of seared flesh filled the air; matched only by that of a dense, clawing, smoke that clung inside the lungs of anyone unfortunate enough to sniff it. Still smouldering bodies littered the path, humans and vampires counting four apiece. Silence engulfed the scene but for the sound of crackling flesh and lumber. A rogue wind parted the smoke for but a moment; that was all that was required. Still mourning, Arnoth spotted a Reaver 70 paces away. The vampires had added a fifth to their party as well it would seem. “How curious” Arnoth thought to himself as he calmly checked for his bola, stood up, and levelled his crossbow at the now rushing Reaver. THIS. IS. A. TEST! Prepare yourselves for DEATH and DESTRUCTION!!! No, I’m not talking about humans V vampires…I’m talking about devs and servers! Our brand new test queue – 5v5 TDM – has the potential to implode in upon itself, sendi…
- New Class Info - New Map - Community Stream & More! State of Play: Mid-January 2016 - 16 January 2016
Happy New Year! This month, we’ve decided to run two State of Plays in order to bring you the latest in the world of Nosgoth. Without further ado, here is what we have planned for the foreseeable future. ONGOING - New Map We are thrilled to see the positive response to our latest map reveal, Silenced Cathedral. The team at Psyonix has been working a lot over the past few months to bring the map to life, and we hope to release it into the wild as soon as possible. Currently, we are putting the finishing touches and making sure you aren’t falling off the map when climbing walls. http://esploded.s3.amazonaws.com/user_data/GooieGreen/oSI/-sct_vampfeedingarea002-1.jpg Before Silenced Cathedral hits your regular map rotation, we wanted to share some additional concept art. Additionally, we’ll be posting a new lore post that goes over the importance of this once holy place and how it fits into…
