Oh man I'm so glad that Square-Enix is making a Legacy of Kain game like this one--because now I have absolutely no reason to buy it in a year where money's tight!
Thank you SE for caring about my financial health. Also, get bent.
Why do this? Why set it in the LoK universe? What's the point? Fans of previous LoK games won't give a shit and the franchise is meaningless to anyone else.
