Nosgoth is a free-to-play 3rd person team based PVP (player versus player) game set in a brutal fantasy world.

Nosgoth is named after the fictional land in which the Legacy of Kain series but is set on its own distinct era of the LoK timeline and knowledge of prior events is by no means necessary. All you need to know is that the two factions involved – Humans and Vampires – are locked in a bloody struggle to control the land of Nosgoth, a land they both share and call home.

Nosgoth will launch worldwide into Open Beta on 21st January at 10.00AM Pacific/1.00PM Eastern.

"Thanks to our highly dedicated and very passionate community, we've had an amazing journey so far," said Corey Davis, Game Director. "Our goal for the Open Beta is to deliver a fun and engrossing metagame and we realize that working closely with our community is the best way for us to balance and deepen the experience going forward. We are thrilled to see what the future brings!"

Nosgoth is a fast paced and intense game that features two opposing factions with very different gameplay mechanics, both requiring different strategies and tactics. Within a match gamers play one round as Humans and one round as Vampires with both sides featuring a variety of classes.

• The Humans primarily rely on ranged attacks and are most effective when staying together as group. Humans win through attrition, by wearing down the vampires at range and healing at various supply stations around the map. Armed with weapons from a repeating crossbow, to the ability to blind enemies with Sunlight Vial, the Humans are a force to be reckoned with.
• The Vampires are dangerously focused on melee attacks, relying on speed and agility to attack the enemy from multiple angles. With mobility including scaling buildings and a flying class, the Vampires fight best solo in coordinated attacks with team mates and recover health by feeding off the Humans.

Nosgoth will be available on Steam, users will need a Steam account and be registered for Square Enix Membership.
