Heres an idea, Fromsoft should make the Soul Reaver sequel

They had GRRM write Elden Ring. They can get Amy Henning to write SR before she retires
It has Souls in the name already.
Lords of the Fallen did the dual world thing
A weakened hero taking on bosses who are literally gods?
Worst case we get the Lies of P studio to do it

Post made me wonder where the IP ended up, Eidos published the series and owned the IP, that went through SquareEnix after they bought out Eidos, then they sold the IP to Embracer who is currently going through a very slow bankruptcy.
So outside the thought exercise, this is mostly wishful thinking. The best we can hope at this point is that embracer sell their IPs to someone else who maybe publishers remasters?
From software probably aren't a good choice though, they don't really vibe super well with the more straightforward European mythologies, they like to weave more (intentionally) convoluted worlds that don't super mesh well with the stories in the soul reaver series.
The closest I can think of would be the psvr exclusive Déraciné, which is a time travelljng story about faries in a boarding school, and it's still pretty far.
I'd say THQ Nordic could maybe do it justice. They remade the Destroy All Humans! games and those were great imo.
So, yeah. THQ Nordic is owned by the aformentioned Embracer. They got no money. Everything they have is currently being shut down and will likely all be sold off to pay the bills in the next year unless they pull a mega hit out of their behind
My real hope is that they sell off the IPs to a capable group. They sure gobbled up some great IPs and then did fuck all with them
Unless they pull a mega hit out of their behind
Maybe they could do, I dunno... Soul Reaver?
I love Soul Revear and the cain series, but they weren't even hits at their most popular ;) Embracer needs a huge injection of money just to keep going. huge
That means only one thing: Gex!
Unironically, that seems like a pretty easy game to remaster and turn for a profit. But also, they seem like they could ask Sony for funding in exchange for exclusivity. People don't like exclusives, but sometimes it can fund stuff that wouldn't normally get made.
