After leaking on the web earlier today, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1-2 Remastered has officially been announced at Sony's State of Play showcase. Despite featuring at the PlayStation show, this new collection is confirmed for Xbox, marking the debuts of Soul Reaver 1 and 2 for Microsoft's platform.
Much like Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, and other remaster examples, this Legacy of Kain collection will be playable in either its original form or the team's newly-remastered presentation.
Here's what to expect from the collection, launching December 10th for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S:

Back in 2022, Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics officially "took control" of Legacy of Kain, subsequently asking fans about a potential return to the classic series. Well, here's that return - with this being the first time Xbox fans can go hands on with Soul Reaver 1 and 2.
