From the Pit: Cut content treasure trove

In case anyone has missed it, the last few hours have seen one of the biggest LoK cut content reveals in 20 years, with The Lost Worlds, The Ancient’s Den, the Legacy of Kain Wiki and many others collaborating to delve into some previously secretive developmental builds of BO1 and SR1.

The BO1 alpha show some massive changes that were removed before the retail version of the game - with a wildly different world map, greatly changed area layouts, tonnes of new, unknown and changed areas, new spells, new sequences (including the long fabled Chess match), new dialogue and a host of new implications.

They’ve also got an SR1 beta where you can access the Chronplast vision rooms to reveal the first publicly revealed footage of an area of Kain’s mountain retreat.

So much to say it can’t be written here, so check out the links above. As a taster here’s the map of Nosgoth as it originally looked.

If you’re ready for a link dump. Prepare yourself for the onslaught: The Lost Worlds news round up can be found here
Ben has also started publishing individual articles dealing with the changes:
