Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered made its debut at today's Sony State of Play, but it's not the only bit of news for fans of the long-dormant action-adventure series. We're also getting the first new series entry in decades in the form of Legacy of Kain: Ascendance, a retro-style 2D platformer telling a brand-new story.
Legacy of Kain: Ascendance is set to launch on March 31, 2026 across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, Switch, and PC. It features three playable characters with series mainstays Kain and Raziel being joined by Elaleth, a vampire previously introduced in the recent graphic novel. Each has a unique playstyle, and the chunky, M-rated pixel gore adds some flair to the visuals.
