I guess the coin was bound to fall on its side at some point after all! Aspyr revealed today that Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 and 2 are getting a remastered edition on December 10, 2024.
Preorders are already live (a 10% off pre-purchase discount brings the price down to US$26.99) and the trailer they’ve uploaded showcases some pretty impressive graphical improvements that don’t ruin the original art style. Just in case the new graphics aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, there’s still an option to switch back to the original style, which is a great feature for any remaster to have. Hopefully the end result is worthy of the saga, as I feel Kain and Raziel deserve a lot more than what they’ve gotten over the years.
