For decades it's been common knowledge that Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver had a great deal of cut content, with almost the last third of the game being cut to meet release deadlines. While we've helped expose aspects of this content in the past, we now have a much fuller picture than had ever been seen before.
In light of the release of Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered and public access to the fabled 'Lost Levels', join us as we explore and explain the full story of the cut content, with exclusive access to behind the scenes knowledge.
