What is Nosgoth?

Nosgoth is a free-to-play, team-based multiplayer shooter video game developed by Psyonix and published by Square Enix for Microsoft Windows. The game is set in the fictional world of the Legacy of Kain video game series.

In Nosgoth, players are divided into two factions with contrasting abilities, strengths, and weaknesses: the vampires and humans. The vampire faction consists of four playable classes with inhuman mobility, deadly close combat skills and dark gifts. The human faction possesses ancient weaponry, deadly battle tech and combat versatility.

Matches in Nosgoth see the vampires and humans pitted against each other in various objective-based game modes. Players must utilize a combination of fast-paced singular and team tactics, coordinated strikes, and their chosen faction's signature set of abilities to defeat the opposing force.

Nosgoth went into closed alpha testing in October 2013. An open beta test took place from January 15, 2015 until the game's servers were closed on May 31, 2016 due to a lack of players. Despite attracting over 1 million registered players, the game struggled to achieve a sustainable player count.

Nosgoth received generally positive reception for its innovative asymmetric gameplay mechanics, presentation, and focus on multiplayer competition. However, the title was criticized for some imbalances between factions as well as regressions during the beta period.
