Legacy of Kain Fans Turn Up for Soul Reaver Prequel Comic, Smashing Kickstarter Goal | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Legacy of Kain fans have been starved of precious, life-sustaining blood for some time now, with really just the rumour of Soul Reaver remasters to subsist on in recent years, and even that was seemingly denied us. IP holder Crystal Dynamics is running a Kickstarter to gauge interest for an official Soul Reaver prequel comic called The Dead Shall Rise (and merchandise), initially asking for just $25k, with well over a million raised already. If that isn't proof of demand for a return to the series, we don't know what is!

Crystal Dynamics shared the achievement on X, noting that there are actually still 17 days to go, so if it's something you want to support, you can. Just skimming through the replies, it's clear that the hunger for anything Legacy of Kain related is more significant than the gothic realm of Nosgoth itself, which we fondly recall slaughtering a swathe across back in the 1996 PS1 original Blood Omen.

Believe in your soul

Are you hungry for more Legacy of Kain? What are people so seemingly attached to about Raziel and Soul Reaver? We don't call it Legacy of Raziel, after all; remember that Kain is the true progenitor and vampire antihero we deserve in the comments section below.

I didn't realize this was a Kickstarter project. I presumed it was something launching soon. Bring on more LoK

I thought Raziel wasn’t a Wraith till the events of the Soul Reaver, thought he was still just Kain’s lieutenant and looks more human like still.
This will definitely be a day one whenever it releases

If this is a post that actually wants to analyze whether Soul Reaver is popular enough for a revival,
