Kain Approaches: New Blood Omen 2 Screens

"There are far worse things awaiting man than death."
--Count Dracula (Dracula, Bram Stoker)

March is inching ever closer - so too is the return of Kain, very likely the most charismatic, ruthless, not to mention well-spoken forces of darkness to seduce the gaming world. In honor of the approach, Eidos has released a brand new batch of screens for your viewing pleasure!

Not familiar with the Legacy of Kain? Here's a little background info:

400 years have passed since the vampire Kain damned the world in the original Blood Omen, choosing to rule the world in damnation then die for it’s salvation. Now Kain, who once controlled the land of Nosgoth with his vampire armies, finds his brethren slain and his dark powers stripped by a mysterious figure. To reclaim his rule and exact his vengeance, Kain must dispatch armies of zealot soldiers and overcome legions of demons in order to uncover the ominous plot that threatens the land he seeks to conquer.

Blood Omen 2, the latest installment in the Legacy of Kain Series, is a 3^rd person 3D action/adventure game in which the player assumes the role of the vampire Kain. A compelling story drives the player through huge lushly detailed 3D environments and challenges their game play skills in combat, puzzle solving, stealth and exploration. With each success, the player achieves new dark powers that will grant Kain the ability to access treacherous new areas to explore and the power to face stronger, more aggressive enemies. As the player develops a stronger, more skilled vampire, they are rewarded with dozens of dazzling in-game cinematic sequences that unfold the continuing epic of Nosgoth, and Kain’s attempts to ultimately rule over it.
