It was 25 years ago that Amy Hennig's Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver first introduced us to the vampire Raziel. Its unusually complex narrative (for the time) and fully voiced cut-scenes made it an instant classic among both PlayStation and Windows gamers back in 1999.

Today, you can still play the original games on Evercade's consoles, which top our pick of the best retro game consoles. But the developer and publisher Aspyr has just announced that it will release Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered for PS5 and PS4. And fans have been moved to tears by the news.
