Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Remasters arriving this year

It looks like the Legacy of Kain games are indeed set to return. Ahead of Sony's State of Play stream later this evening, a PSN listing has already revealed one of the surprises – The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered. 

The remaster will package together both titles, in time for the series' 25th anniversary. Crystal Dynamics first began planning these remasters after seeing immense fan demand following a petition asking if people were still interested in The Legacy of Kain franchise a couple of years back.

The port is being handled by Aspyr, which has plenty of porting experience for modern platforms, having worked on all of the most recent classic Star Wars game re-releases, as well as other collections, like the recent Tomb Raider Remastered package, which includes the original three Lara Croft games.

Fans of the Legacy of Kain franchise can also look forward to a new prequel comic, The Dead Shall Rise, which is set to explore Raziel's past as a human, before obtaining the vampiric curse.

It is unclear if Crystal Dynamics has more planned after this, like a brand new game in the series, but that might depend on how well these remasters do. According to the leak, the remasters will be hitting PC and consoles in December.

KitGuru Says: The Legacy of Kain series is a classic, so I look forward to seeing the remasters in action. Will you be picking this one up?
