Crystal Dynamics is at work on a “full reboot” of its Legacy of Kain vampire series, according to a VG247 source. The site has it on “good authority” a Soul Reaver reboot is in development.
The game is said to be a “full reworking” of the title, complete with new art direction.
The site was previously told the project would be revealed this year, possibly at E3, but that information may not be accurate, it said.
Soul Reaver initially debuted on PlayStation and PC in 1999. A Dreamcast version followed in 2000. A sequel launched for PS2 and PC in 2001. Legacy of Kain: Defiance, the series’ latest release, came out for PS2, Xbox, and PC in 2003.
The site was also told the studio’s new IP – first mentioned earlier this year – is an Xbox LIVE Arcade title.
