The Hylden were introduced as antagonists for Blood Omen 2’s new alternate timeline, devised prior to the completion of the second Soul Reaver game. Join me as I delve deep into the history and lore of these mysterious creatures known as the Hylden.
This video contains spoilers for Legacy of Kain Blood Omen, Soul Reaver, Soul Reaver 2, Blood Omen 2 & Defiance which was made by Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix.
