A Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver Remake Is Just A Matter Of Time

Square Enix seemingly left the Legacy of Kain series behind, but now is the perfect time for Crystal Dynamics to do a new Legacy of Kain game or a remake of the beloved title.
Released in 1999, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver serves as a direct sequel to Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain while giving the series a fresh perspective.

Raziel's ability to transition between the physical and spiritual worlds is the key to solving puzzles in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, and different groups of enemies are present in the two distinct realms. Combat and traversal evolve over the course of the game as players acquire new abilities and weapons.
