description Nosgoth Overview

Nosgoth was a free-to-play multiplayer action shooter developed by Psyonix and published by Square Enix. Set in the dark fantasy world of the Legacy of Kain franchise, the game featured asymmetrical combat, pitting teams of armed human hunters against powerful teams of vampires. Released in 2015, the game ultimately failed to maintain a stable player base, leading its developers to permanently shut down the official servers in 2016.
