 Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was a classic adventure game that was released 25 years ago. Luckily, this year marks its 25th anniversary, and what better way to celebrate than having it remastered? During the State of Play 2024 event, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered was announced and fans will get to play sooner than expected.

Soul Reaver 1 & 2 feature some of the most iconic performances in video game history. It will have visual new improvements that have been listed below:

  • Control Improvements: Soul Reaver launched while the D-PAD was the dominant control method. We’ve ensured with DualShock 4 and Dual Sense that analog control feels and plays as great in Soul Reaver as it did in Soul Reaver 2.
  • Camera Upgrades: We’ve mapped the camera in Soul Reaver to the right stick which allows us to move the camera on the Y-Axis. Of course, there weren’t robust skyboxes in the original because you couldn’t look up. So we made some! Enjoy right-stick mapping to see the vibrant skies and platforms above.
  • Trophies! For now, just know we’re using trophies as our wink and nod to the community for the most iconic gameplay moments. We’ll share more specifics at a later date. 
  • Map & Compass: Nosgoth is a vast, open world. Navigating, even with quick travel, can be daunting for first-timers. We added a map and compass to assist with finding the next objective, so you’ll never feel completely lost, even if you decide to play through optional content. The map is a brand new, never-before-seen map of Nosgoth co-created by Aspyr, Crystal Dynamics and key members of the Legacy of Kain community. It is one of the most beautiful additions to the game and a celebration of the fans who have kept the games alive for so long.
  • Photo Mode: A popular feature from Tomb Raider I-III Remastered returns! We’ll include our photo mode to let you showcase some of the best gameplay moments of Soul Reaver 1 & 2.
  • And a few more surprises: Where’s the fun in spoiling everything already? 

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered will be out for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (via Steam) this December 10, 2024. More info about the game will be revealed.
