Report: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver I & II Remastered Brand Spotted at San Diego Comic-Con

Could the Legacy of Kain franchise be making a comeback? While nothing has been announced so far, it seems a line of new toys might have just outed the announcement for Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver I & II Remastered earlier than expected.

What we assume to be the game name has been spotted at the San Diego Comic-Con today where toys featuring Kain and Raziel can be seen with the “Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver I & II Remastered” branding in the cards accompanying it.

Of course, this is in no way official, though it does seem odd that title/brand is out there. Perhaps an announcement is on the way this week? One might hope. The toys seem to be in line with the franchise’s recent resurgence, as there’s also a new comic titled Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise comic recently announced.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was released way back in 1999 for the original PlayStation, and was considered cutting-edge at the time, as it not only featured amazing visuals then, but also a fleshed out narrative. It spawned a sequel titled Soul Reaver 2 that was released in 2001, though this was the last one bearing the Soul Reaver title, as the succeeding games in the Legacy of Kain franchise featured titular character Kain in Blood Omen 2, and in Defiance.

Since then, the franchise has remained dormant, though there’s still a lot of gamers with fond memories of the earlier games. Hopefully, this means an announcement is imminent, though don’t take the images above as a confirmation just yet. For me, personally, I’d rather have a remake than a remaster, but at this point, I gather most gamers will be happy with any.
