Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was originally released on PlayStation and PC in 1999. Now 25 years later, the game and its follow-up from 2001 – the appropriately titled Soul Reaver 2 – have been remastered with a slew of improvements for returning fans and newcomers to enjoy.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered
Release Date: December 10, 2024
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered features both Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 in a single package. The games follow the “soul reaver” Raziel on his quest for revenge after being killed by a vampire named Kain and later resurrected. Both remastered titles feature upgraded graphics and a modern control layout, but at the same time allow players to switch back to the original graphics and controls if they want a retro experience.
Other improvements include the mapping of the camera in Soul Reaver to the right stick, and the addition of a map and compass to the overall experience to help players navigate the fantasy world of Nosgoth. Players can also snap pictures in a photo mode, as well as browse artwork, audio tracks, and more in a Bonus Content menu.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered will be released digitally on Switch, PlayStation consoles, Xbox consoles, and PC for $29.99 on December 10, 2024.
