The community has been waiting for a return of Legacy of Kain and in particular of Soul Reaver for years now, and the discovery made by some users at San Diego Comic-Con could significantly raise hopes: some visitors to the showfloor have in fact identified the title Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver I & II Remastered, associated with some figurines linked to the series.
The context here seems to be different, but what is surprising is the wording used to catalogue the products in question: in the showcase present at the fair, the figurines are represented with an identification tag that links them to Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver I & II Remastered, with an official title and the Crystal Dynamics logo accompanying them.
Although the issue at the moment concerns action figures or similar, the fact that such a title exists, with registered graphics and the brand of the development team linked to it, suggests that there is also a new video game in the works behind it, which could be a remastered collection of the two chapters of Soul Reaver, based on the visible name.
Are the remasters finally coming?
The new Legacy of Kain comic Soul Reaver: The Dead Shall Rise was also recently presented, as part of what appears to be a general relaunch of the brand, but in this case the situation seems a little different.

The photos and videos appear to be authentic, and a tag like that, with graphics constructed like that, definitely looks official.
This suggests that Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver I & II Remastered is in development and could be released soon, with a merchandise line already ready before the main product is announced, it seems.

At the moment we still take it all as a rumor, but in this case there seems to be something much more substantial than a simple supposition, since this discovery represents an important clue about a possible return of the video game series. At this point, we await any developments on the matter.
