Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remaster Fails to Show at Comic-Con, Leak Called Into Question | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

In case you didn't see the stories over the weekend, a Soul Reaver statue was on display at San Diego Comic-Con, and it was accompanied by a rather exciting plaque, which credited the statue to 'Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1&2 Remastered'. Now, obviously, this threw nostalgic onlookers into a frenzy, and it's fair to say that a lot of people were looking forward to an announcement during the event.

However, that announcement never came. And as a result, doubt has been cast over the original leak. So, what's going on?

Well, from what we can see, the statue was real. There are several different photographs of it doing the rounds on social media, and no one's come forward to debunk its existence. However, the accompanying plaque was apparently removed from the display at some point over the weekend.

Assuming that the information on the plaque was accurate, its removal suggests that it wasn't supposed to be shown to the public. But then if that's the case, why was the plaque present to begin with, at a convention where the supposed remaster failed to manifest anyway? If it's a simple mistake, then it's a pretty big one — and one that's quite difficult to understand.

Of course, it could just be that the remaster will be announced at a later date, and the scheduling got completely mixed up between companies. From what we understand, the statue was there on behalf of Dark Horse Comics, which had a range of merchandise on display at the show.

Raziel finally returns

As always, all we can really do is watch and wait. If the remaster's real, an official reveal should be in the works.
