More specifically, on March 31, the Nintendo eShop on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 will be updated with Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered from Crystal Dynamics. The original game was released back in 2003 by the same developer, Crystal Dynamics, and publisher Eidos Interactive. For PlayStation fans, the game was notably directed by Amy Hennig, the creator of the Uncharted series. It is the fifth and final game in the series, and was released to a Metacritic range of 70 to 75. Its remaster, meanwhile, has a similar range of 69 to 76 on Metacritic.
What’s New With the Remaster
While this game is not the original 2003 version in its all nostalgia glory, it is a remaster, not a remake, so it’s essentially the same game as the original, just modernized. In this case, the modernization includes high-definition graphics, “refined” controls, and a “modernized” game camera. Those who prefer the original, nostalgic graphics do have the option to toggle to the original graphics at any time during the game. There is also a new photo mode, new alternate character skins, and a new lore reader. Lastly, and perhaps most notably, there is unreleased content and “lost levels” that were cut during the development of the original game.
