The Ancient’s Den has been around for well over nearly two decades. It started as a small YouTube channel in 2007 with only a handful videos but at present, I have released over 200 videos. Couple years later, it was joined by my blog. In the recent years, TAD also joined Facebook & Twitter. However, I always wanted to have my own dedicated website and I finally decided it was time to set up one. Not all content will be posted here, though. My YT channel will still remain as the prime source of new videos and any interesting news will always be posted separately on TAD social media.
At present, my blog has become more of an archive of all the articles I have written over the years but if there are new articles to be posted, they will be still uploaded there. The purpose of this website is to serve more as a hub for ease of access for all the content I made so far.
Since I have been working in the game industry professionally, Bazielim took over maintaining my YouTube channel and has been making new content (NNN, trailer breakdowns, etc.) as I simply do not have any more time anymore. Hope you still enjoy our videos!
Vae Victis!

The announcement of Defiance Remastered finally hit and I can announce that I am part of this project. The whole page has been updated with new video links and information.
Legacy of Kain: Defiance (2003)
Published by Eidos Interactive, Raziel’s and Kain’s journey cullminated in this hit action game and to this date, the final entry in the series. Sporting new camera angles and dual gameplay, this game closed the Soul Reaver’s saga (named originally Soul Reaver 3).
Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered (2026)
Releasing on 3rd of March, Defiance Remastered takes us back to 2000s, when games such as Devil May Cry and God of War defined the action game genre for years to come. With combat being one of the weakest parts of Soul Reaver 2, Defiance developers took notes from these titles and improved the combat to be more combo oriented with new cinematic angles, creating a more streamlined experience. This, however, came at the cost of platforming as the new camera angles did not always provide the best view to the players.
In Defiance Remastered, we started with the camera overhaul, so now you can see where you are jumping, but we did not stop there. You can look forward to the brand new HD models, audio and visual enhancements, Lost Levels to explore, revamped UI and HUD, level maps, countless character skins to unlock and much more!
