In October 2015, Crystal Dynamics' senior designer, Michael Brinker, stated there was "a 50/50 chance" of a sixth "Legacy of Kain" single player game releasing during the eighth generation of video game consoles. In November 2017, Square Enix Europe's director of indie publishing, Phil Elliott, confirmed that the company had no specific plans for "Legacy of Kain", but would consider licensing the property to external developers through its Square Enix Collective service. In April 2019, Elliott stated that no such projects were in production as no team had come forward with a credible proposal, but that the Collective program would remain open to future "Legacy of Kain" submissions.
