According to a leak back in July, Crystal Dynamics was preparing remasters of the first two Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver games. And it’s official. Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered is real, and it will be coming to PC on December 10th.
The studio responsible for these upcoming remasters will be Aspyr. Aspyr was also behind the Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Collection. That collection was well received, and this new one appears to be similar to it.
In Soul Reaver, players will assume the role of Azriel. Players will slay their former vampire brethren with their claws, bolts of telekinetic energy, and the elemental Wraith Blade. To grow stronger, players will be devouring the souls of their enemies.
One of the biggest game mechanics of the Soul Reaver games was the ability to shift between the Spectral and Material Realms. So, players will traverse the realms to solve puzzles, reveal new paths, and defeat their foes.
Below you can find the official trailer for this collection, as well as two comparison screenshots. These screenshots showcase the improvements that these remasters bring to the table. As we can see, we’ll get better 3D models and higher-quality textures. The lighting also appears to be slightly improved.
All in all, this collection appears to have the same visual improvements as the Tomb Raider collection. Thus, it will most likely please all of the Soul Reaver die-hard fans.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
