10 Video Game Moments Everyone Was Waiting For (That Didn't Happen)

6. The Return Of Legacy Of Kain In "Dead Sun"

There was a time when Uncharted's Amy Hennig put her scriptwriting powers to far darker use; bringing a world of vampire hierarchies and revenge tales to life in The Legacy of Kain series.

Though incredibly popular and a mainstay of many childhoods, the series fell into disarray when license holders Crystal Dynamics couldn't decide what to do next. Following 2003's Legacy of Kain: Defiance, we were supposed to get LoK: The Dark Prophecy, only for a reboot of sorts called Dead Sun to come in the mid-2010s, with a new batch of characters.

Both projects were cancelled despite Legacy of Kain still being a notable, beloved and worthwhile property to this day. The latest comment from anyone regarding Legacy of Kain was senior designer Michael Brinker noting that there's a "50/50 chance" of another instalment coming to PS4 or Xbox One - yet it doesn't take the sting away from the projects we'll never get.
