Subscribers to PS Plus Premium can now enjoy two beloved titles from the Legacy of Kain series, complete with trophy support. The games are Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and The Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2, not to be confused with the upcoming Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered duology. While it’s not the first time classic games added to PS Plus have received trophies, this feature has typically been reserved for titles developed or published by Sony.
The Legacy of Kain series began in 1996 with Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain and had five installments released by 2003. The series was initially developed by the now-defunct Silicon Knights and published by Crystal Dynamics, who also owns the IP nowadays. However, it remained dormant until Square Enix sold Crystal Dynamics to Embracer Group, which wasted no time announcing remasters for Soul Reaver 1 & 2. The Soul Reaver duology comprises the second and third mainline entries, while Blood Omen 1 and Blood Omen 2 are the first and fourth games, respectively.
