Square Enix’s Nosgoth Enters Open Beta On January 21
Square Enix and Psyonix are bringing the battle between human and vampire into open beta next week. Nosgoth, a free-to-play, competitive multiplayer title set in the Legacy of Kain universe arrives in open beta on January 21.
Beyond just being a team-based competitive title, Nosgoth offers asymmetric play. The humans rely largely on ranged combat, while the vampires close the gap quickly and rely on melee. One attack even involves swooping down on a human, lifting him into the air, and dropping him to his death.
We had a chance to play Nosgoth at PAX, and you can read up on the title in our previous coverage. You can also read a more in-depth analysis from earlier in the game’s development.
Our Take
Nosgoth might not be the Legacy of Kain game that die-hard fans want, but its existence means that the property isn’t forgotten. We recently identified Legacy of Kain as a title we think the world is ready to see rebooted. Let’s hope our wish comes true in 2015.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
