Reports emerging this morning indicate that Crystal Dynamics is working on a full reboot of the vampire series, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.
VG247 has the scoop, suggesting that the game will be a “full reworking of the vampire action classic” with a new art direction.
The site notes that a reveal was previously planned for this year, but it has since learned that the information may not be accurate. With Crystal Dynamics still hard at work on Tomb Raider, a 2012 announcement doesn’t make much sense – but we suppose it depends how deep into development the project actually is.
The original Soul Reaver launched on the PlayStation back in 1999. A direct sequel was released on the PlayStation 2 in 2001, but the series has been dormant since the release of Legacy of Kain: Defiance back in 2003.
Would you be excited to see the Soul Reaver franchise return?

Yes i would!! I would actually pre-order something like this. I played soul reaver on dreamcast when i still had one and was a great game.
I'm with @odd69 — the Dreamcast Soul Reaver was awesome in its day. I still remember being wowed by its graphics! Would be very interested in another entry.
A reboot with the classics in HD and a new game using new technologies, that will be fantastic! Any way, just need to be serious about that, otherwise, just leave the vampires in the coffins.
That would be amazing, so long as I don;t have to play as Kain sucking blood trough the air form 30 ft away from the victim. Hopefully it focuses on Raziel.
I think I played Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver on the Dreamcast. Is that the one where the game begins w/ your guy getting his wings ripped of his back for upstaging his master and then getting thrown into a pit and the rest of the game is you out for revenge in a -dare I say it - almost Zelda like adventure? I recall alot of backtracking and learning new moves along the way. I know I only played one of those games and that's what I remember. So yeah, I'm in if that was anything to go by. That picture up top definetly rings some bells.
