Nosgoth, a multiplayer game, was confirmed by Square Enix London Studios community manager George Kelion to be in development in June 2013, in response to a series of internet leaks and resultant speculation. According to Kelion, it was to be set in the same universe as previous "Legacy of Kain" titles, but would not be "a traditional or even single-player LoK experience". The game was intended to be viewed as "very much on a separate branch to both the Soul Reaver and Blood Omen series", and Crystal Dynamics were not involved in its development. Kelion stated that "Nosgoth" would be more formally announced and revealed at a future date, sometime beyond the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2013. However "Nosgoth" was never officially released, but began open beta in January 2015. The game officially shut down its servers on May 31, 2016.
