Not HD remake. REBOOT. New art style. New game overall.
In making by Crystal Dynamics!
"Crystal Dynamics is working on a reboot of “Soul Reaver,” VG247 has been told.
Details are anorexic, but our source has claimed the game is a full reworking of the vampire action classic, and includes a new art direction.
We have been previously told the project was aiming for a reveal this year – possibly at E3 – but new information has warned this may not be accurate.
It’s unclear where the new game will lie in the IP, and whether or not Raziel or Kain will lead. The series itself is Legacy of Kain; Kain is a noble murdered and revived as a vampire who embarks on a crusade to kill his assassins and be restored to human form.
The protagonist of Soul Reaver – the sequel to the series’s first title, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, which released in 1996 for PlayStation – is vampire-turned-wraith Raziel.
Soul Reaver – released in 1999 for PlayStation and PC, with a Dreamcast version following in 2000 – was a much-loved action adventure, and spawned a direct sequel in Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 2 for PS2 and PC in 2001.
Two more games followed: Blood Omen 2: Legacy of Kain in 2002 and Legacy of Kain: Defiance for PS2, Xbox and PC in 2003.
Aside from some PSN releases, the series has been dormant ever since.
Crystal Dynamics is currently working on Square’s Tomb Raider reboot for release later this year. The studio has also confirmed it’s readying to announced a new IP in 2012. We’ve been told today this is an XBLA game.
We’ve reached out to Square Enix for comment, but no reply had been received at the time of writing."

Oddly, one of the few games I started that I wasn't able to go on playing and never ended it (far from it). I found it too boring at the time. Maybe this reboot will manage to be more appealing to me?
Hope they will go for the same music style tho. Atmosphere in Soul reaver games was perfect

To meet the demands of the casual and younger gamers crystal dynamics decided to change the art style. The main character Raziel will actually look similiar to Edward from the Twighlight Saga and of course the game will feature a love interest. Stay Tuned!

Me too. every Soul Reaver game I've played actually.
But everything from what I've played was very memorable and atmospheric. Maybe I was too young to fully enjoy those games

I never got into these games... actually I never really tried to get into them, but the old Soul Reaver were quite cool. I might try them again some time. This is really exciting for me though, since it's made by Crystal Dynamics and I really love that studio.

Awwww man, can't wait for this, I was a sucker for the series when I was younger, lol. I have a boxed copy for every single game, alongside with printed posters and stuff. I even had a tshirt with Kain .
OMG...i love soul reaver and this is the best news since....i don't know but now that i think about it reboots have not been good lately aniway i;m still super excited about this
Let's hope they don't fuck it up. CD did an awesome job with Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, showed them back at their roots and kick ass while at it, so good hopes for this as indeed EA is not involved
im a bit skeptical when it comes to "reboots" lately hehe.
syndicate comes to mind ^^
If this reboot is an FPS or a cover shooter, then we'll all be a bit concerned
They don't really make games like the original Soul Reaver any more, Darksiders is the only thing similar that I've played recently, it'll be interesting to see how it turns out
