Latest Updates from Our Project:

Brief production update! 🔥
over 1 year ago – Mon, Apr 21, 2025 at 02:55:21 AM

Hello, hello, Kainhead (yes, we're going with that).

Just a brief update on where things are at currently, as I'm sure you're mighty curious!

We're still on track for our estimated 2026 release date. Written content for the Book of Nosgoth, and the Scourge of the Sarafan, are underway and progressing well! ✨

We are working closely with the dedicated team at Crystal Dynamics on an almost daily basis, ensuring that everything written is correct, approved, and in line with their internal lore, quality expectations, and keeping both items official under the collaborative eye of the CD team.

This joint, collaborative effort between Crystal Dynamics, Lost In Cult, and Cook and Becker means that we're creating these items to be the best they can be. If you've seen any of our past finished items - we recently just shipped Eastward: Design Works - you'll know the pure level of quality and focus that we put into every project we touch. It's deeply important to us that we create a timeless piece worthy of Legacy of Kain (and your shelf) for decades to come!

Also, as a reminder - we are preparing our survey and finalising the add-on store. We're also looking into ways to make our Legacy of Kain items accessible to those that may have missed them (minus the BackerKit exclusive versions and additions, of course). We'll update with more information on all of this when it's all finished and ready to go! 

If you're experiencing any issues (i.e. with payments having not gone through, etc) pop an email to [email protected]. Please note, our customer service team gets stacked, so please only direct order queries here! 😉




Shipping payments + failed payments info 🚚💨
over 1 year ago – Fri, Mar 21, 2025 at 12:18:01 PM

Greetings, fellow Kainheads and Razielhead. 

We come with some updates and reminders. As you'd expect, we've been hard at work on both The Book of Nosgoth and The Scourge of the Sarafan. 🧛‍♂️

We'll keep you posted on its production progress throughout the course of the year and into the shipping period (still estimated for Q1 2026).

Firstly, some information for the small handful of backers whose payments have failed - fret not, your order is not lost, and your copies are still reserved. Once our pledge manager is set up and surveys sent out, you will have another opportunity to pay once your survey is filled in. Just make sure your payment method is up to date and has sufficient funds when you fill in the survey.

Speaking of which: our pledge manager will be ready soon, with backer surveys being sent out once it's set up. We'll be charging for shipping via this at a later date – we'll be sure to keep you posted on when that will be.

Lastly, we know that add-ons are something many of you were keen to see during the campaign - thank you for all of your feedback! We are exploring the opportunities available. We'll provide more info in due course, as we're working out some final bits and don't want to confirm exactly what will be available yet, but we just wanted to update you as we continue working on this incredible project.

That's it for now! In the meantime... who else has pre-ordered a physical copy of Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered for June? 🙋‍♀️

Payments reminder 💸
over 1 year ago – Thu, Mar 06, 2025 at 09:41:17 AM

Just a quick reminder that BackerKit will automatically attempt to recharge the cards of those who have failed payments associated with their pledge.

The recharge will be attempted between now and end of day tomorrow, with a second attempt on Thursday 14th March if unsuccessful.

For more information on how to update your payment method in advance of this, please see the information here: https://help.backerkit.com/article/651-how-do-i-update-my-payment-method

Important info about payment details to avoid cancellation! 🚨
over 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 03, 2025 at 09:45:03 AM

Hello again, fellow Kainheads (if that's not a thing, it is now).

First off, another whole-hearted thank you from the bottom of the hearts of everyone at Lost In Cult, Cook and Becker, and Crystal Dynamics. We've been blown away by the level of support for our Legacy of Kain Encyclopedia + Tabletop Role-playing Game campaign, and now the real journey begins in making these beautiful items come to life. Of course, we have already been working on it since before the campaign even began...

We'll save you from updates being shared every single day, but do keep an occasional eye on our Community tab for updates here, as from now until the items ship, we'll be sharing production updates, images, details, and more as work on our Legacy of Kain items is underway. We'll share some more about what some of these next steps look like soon, as well as any plans for add-ons etc.

Now, for the really important bit... to make sure your order is processed, we have a quick update on payments.

Please check that your payment details are correct and update them if you haven't been charged already - this is to ensure your payment goes through. BackerKit allows 14 days from campaign closure to ensure your details are correct and payment is made, otherwise your pledge is automatically cancelled.

It's likely your payment details are already correct and placed, but we have noticed some backers experiencing issues!

To be safe, check that your payment details are correct before Wednesday, 12th March to ensure there aren't any issues in securing your pledge.

We'll jump in soon with some more updates! 🙏

Thank you, and…
