Dead Sun was set in the far future of the Legacy of Kain world, long after the events of Soul Reaver and Legacy of Kain: Defiance (2003). Players would control new protagonists Gein, a vampire, and Asher, a human, whose souls became intertwined as they travelled the land of Nosgoth. However, it was cancelled in 2012 following three years of work, and initially remained undisclosed to the public.
