Legacy of Kain writer Jim Curry has died

Jim Curry, a writer and marketing manager on Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and the Gex series, passed away in mid-February.

In an obituary on his Facebook page, his wife Ellen revealed he had been battling an undisclosed illness for “over two years.”

“It has been an exhausting, difficult, and sad struggle, and we have cherished many moments along the way,” she wrote. “Jim died surrounded by family.”

According to MobyGames, Curry got his start in the industry as a special advisor on 1991’s Marvel Land and on the “Hometek Team” for Rolling Thunder 2 that same year. Most of his credits, such as 3D Baseball and Abomination, pertain to product marketing. Along with Soul Reaver, his writing credits include Battle Cars (as a copywriter), Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (cinematic script editor), and Akuji: The Heartless.

Both Soul Reaver and its sequel were recently remastered in a bundle for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S, and serve as his final credited work.
