Legacy of Kain: "Soul Reaver I & II Remastered" - branding seen at SDCC

[Mama Robotnik]

This appears to be alongside the launch of the pictured statues, and the recent-ish announcement of the "Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver - The Dead Shall Rise" comic.

This can't be anything other than what it seems to be, right? A remaster of those wonderful games?

What I'd love to see myself:

• Original voice acting (rather than recasting roles of those that have passed away)
  
  
• Restoration of the cut content in both games (with an alternate ending option for SR1 to take into account the original story before the cuts)
  
  
• The original Blood Omen as an unlockable extra.
  
  
• A big box retail version that I can put in a shrine alongside my original LOK retail games.

EDIT:

ALL ABOARD THE KAIN TRAIN!

(context if you need it)

 

[Shinobido Heart]

Is it finally happening?

Wanted a new one or a remake but this will do

Please be a little more than a basic port, it's been on Steam and works fine with a fan patch.

 

[thebigword]

please God

My cam can't seem to scan that QR. This has to lead to somewhere

Edit: zoomed the hell in. Takes you to Dark Horse newsletter signup. This gotta be something.

 

[Gunman]

Please not Aspyr.

 

[Faceless_Caesar]

I hope they get as much love as the Tomb Raider ones did. These games have been in my backlog for ages and a new release would be a day 1 purchase for me.

 

[IDreamOfHime]

 

[AutomaticDrip]

This is a very big deal. Excited!

 

[KanameYuuki]

How long until that gets cancelled too?

 

[Dest]

I WANNA KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING
TELL ME WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND

According to Reddit, it leads to the website of the company that is making the statues.

 

[The4thJeazy]

I also am for Blood Omen being included. Hope someone comes through with physical copies as well

 

[Agni Kai]

The Age of Remasters is here to stay. Rejoice, my comrades, for we are able to relive our past glories until the end of time.

 

[Shard Shinjuku]

Please not Aspyr.

Probably going to be Aspyr.

[Genesius]

DON'T YOU FUCK WITH ME

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Excuse me? wtf?!

 

[SlasherMcGirk]

If true happy for the fans.

 

[Kadzork]

It's cheaper and safer to remake a game that you already know is good than it is to make something new.

 

[VinceK]

Oh how I have waited for this day to come I have wanted this for so very very long.

 

[SirKai]

As long as the voice acting is kept, I'm so in. Kain is the best damn video game character ever.

 

[Villein]

id love to have the series on modern platforms, especially a switch remaster would be fantastic

 

[J-Skee]

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

 

[Wrexis]

I wanted to play these a few years ago as I missed out on them on PS1 and...they're rough. It would have to be a pretty thorough remaster.

 

[Agni Kai]

Oh yeah, I agree with you. I've been eating so good these past 10 or so years playing remasters and remakes.

 

[Kraid]

I've wanted these for years and years. Blood Omen too, please.

 

[Pyro]

I hope this is real because I just missed these games back then. Would love to play some cleaned up versions with trophy support.

 

[Mama Robotnik]

I've been saving this photo for a number of years now. One of my children cracked open my sealed Legacy of Kain action figures and made the KAIN TRAIN out of Duplo.

ALL ABOARD THE KAIN TRAIN!

At least get the tone right ffs!

"The sudden realisation that Kain had re-emerged, berift of the technological limitations that once bound him to a blighted existence of sharpened polygons, caused a shudder in my groin, spilling forth sticky streams of seed I thought had long abandoned me in this deathy guise."

now bring back nosgoth

Pretty sure Soul Reaver got delisted a while ago

 

[Voytek]

I'd rather have Blood Omen but fine I'd settle for this.

 

[Lukar]

Figured there would be something on the way. A comic randomly announced out of nowhere was suspicious.

 

[jikevgw]

Pleaseee !!!!!!!

 

[Nere]

Deep breaths everyone... deeep breaths.

 

[TheWooniestWoona]

I'd be up for playing through them again.

 

[mudai]

YEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! LET'S GOOO!!!

 

[NukeRunner]

I never played through these in their time, but was interested. Do they hold up pretty well?
