Legacy of Kain Games Collection Heads to Evercade

Blaze Entertainment announced that its next Evercade classic collection cartridge will be Legacy of Kain Collection. That will feature two games, which are Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, and follows similar collections for series like Duke Nukem and Tomb Raider. 

This new collection will launch in September 2024. Pre-orders aren’t open at sites like Funstock or Amazon. However, the Duke Nukem Collection I cartridge was $23.11, and Tomb Raider Collection I costs $28.89. Also, like all cartridges, people will be able to use it on the EXP-R handheld, VS-R console, Alpha, and Super Pocket.

As for the titles, both involve the opportunity to play the 32-bit games on a newer console and handheld. Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain helps set the stage. In it, players control Kain, a man turned into a vampire who is defeating corrupt Circle of Nine Pillars and ascend to power. As a result of that crusade, the events of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver occur. In it, Kain’s former lieutenant Raziel is punished for growing wings by Kain and sent to his death, but instead he becomes a soul reaver tasked with defeating Kain to restore the natural order.

Here’s the first trailer for the Evercade collection, which shows how both games look when running on the systems. 

We may also see more Legacy of Kain games soon, as there were SDCC 2024 figures on display of Kain and Raziel. What was interesting about those is that the placards for them didn’t refer to the original titles. Instead, both featured Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver I & II Remastered branding, suggesting those two entries will return via remaster releases. 

Legacy of Kain Collection, which features the games Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, will appear for the Evercade in September 2024.
