Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver may be getting a remaster, if a new rumor is to be believed. XboxEra co-founder Nick (@Shpeshal_Nick) mentioned the rumor in the latest episode of the XboxEra Podcast, saying that he had an anonymous source tell him there’s a Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver remaster in development, and that it may be announced sometime this year.

Nick clarified with his source whether it was a Remaster or a Remake, and they confirmed that it was a “remaster,” though the nebulous definition of the term could mean anything from a simple smoothing of the graphics to an entire Demon’s Souls-esque or Ratchet & Clank 2016-style overhaul. There was some debate on the podcast about a simple remaster not doing the 22-year old game justice, and a more comprehensive “remake” being more likely, though Nick was just quoting his source. “I believe it’s being announced this year,” Nick said. “Maybe at PAX, or it could get saved for The Game Awards.” It’s unclear which PAX he’s referring to (PAX East takes place mid-July, meanwhile PAX Australia is in October), and The Game Awards 2021 hasn’t been dated, but most likely won’t happen until December, leaving a pretty broad window for the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver remaster to be announced. And that’s if the rumor is even true and if it’s actually announced this year....
