The Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver - The Dead Shall Rise officially announced

The Legacy of Kain series is back, just not in the way fans may have expected. We’re not complaining though.

Despite having a cult following, theLegacy of Kainseries has become a series lost to time, with no new releases since 2003.

Unfortunately, the chances of there beinga new gameanytime soon are slim to none, but it hasn’t stopped fans from dreaming of another entry, or even a remaster/remake of some of the best titles in the series.

Some have even taken matters into their own hands andmodded existing versions of the games to be more in line with today’s gaming standards.

Now this may not be the sequel or remake fans will have been hoping for, but it’s definitely better than nothing, and it’s also being made as a collaborative effort with Crystal Dynamics so it at least shows the Legacy of Kain series is on its radar again.

Speaking with IGN about the graphic novel, writer Joshua Violasaid, “In college, I created aSoul Reaverposter for a class project, never imagining I would one day officially contribute to the franchise … Working directly with creatives from Crystal Dynamics and reuniting with former collaborators makes this a truly special endeavour."

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Risewill be a crowdfunded project through Kickstarter, and will notify fans when donations are being accepted on its official pages.

Hopefully this generates a bit more of a buzz around the forgotten IP, perhaps spurring on a new entry or some sort of legacy collection for modern consoles.
