The much-anticipated Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered package recently showcased an updated version of the Glyph statue, drawing some initial mixed reactions from fans familiar with the original game. A joint effort by Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics, this remaster breathes new life into the classic battle between Raziel and Kain. As part of Soul Reaver’s 25th-anniversary celebrations, the remastered duo includes both original and enhanced graphics, along with the addition of modern-day trophies and achievements.
While the announcement of the remaster was mostly met with excitement, the altered design of the Glyph statue from the first Soul Reaver game sparked some debate. Critics pointed out noticeable differences in the remastered version, mainly citing that it appeared less feminine than the original. Addressing these concerns, Raina Audron, the remaster’s director, confirmed that the statue had undergone changes for the upcoming relaunch.
In a recent video posted on Raina Audron’s YouTube channel, Nosgoth News Network gave viewers a glimpse of the revamped Glyph statue. Bazielim, in a segment around 6:22 in the video, suggested that the original trailers showcased a work-in-progress, with ongoing tweaks made to its appearance.
On Twitter, Nathan Guljas shared side-by-side images that highlighted changes between the initial footage and the newly revised version. However, it’s still up for debate whether the changes adhered to the original creative vision or were influenced by critical feedback, as pointed out by Bazielim.
Raina Audron, though not appearing directly in the video, has been a long-time enthusiast of the Legacy of Kain series. Her appointment as director for the remasters is a thrilling development for fans. Prior to Soul Reaver, Audron’s expertise as an environmental artist was showcased in the Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered collection. Fans have warmly welcomed her into her new role, many lauding her as the perfect fit to steer the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 and 2 Remastered projects to success.
Whether you’re revisiting the epic journey of Kain and Raziel or experiencing it for the first time, this remaster promises to deliver with enriched graphics and enthralling gameplay updates. Scheduled to release on multiple platforms including PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on December 10, 2024, this reimagined classic is ready to captivate both new players and long-time fans.
