The upcoming graphic novel Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise will be the first official new Soul Reaver story in two decades, since 2003’s Legacy of Kain: Defiance. To celebrate the momentous occasion, Bit Bot Media and Crystal Dynamics are creating exclusive collectibles, which will be available alongside the graphic novel on Kickstarter later this year. Now fans can bring home the legendary sword with the Reaver Replica.
“The Reaver is more than just a weapon; it’s a symbol of power in the world of Legacy of Kain,” says Joshua Viola of Bit Bot Media. “As a fan, I’ve always dreamed of having an official Reaver to display on my wall—and now, you can!

Fans can channel the power of the Reaver and let the legacy live on with this extraordinary replica. Measuring an impressive 3 feet in length, this high-end replica is hand-painted with extraordinary detail and crafted from durable EVA foam around an aluminum frame to ensure it maintains its shape. Perfectly safe for cosplay, this Reaver Replica also makes a striking display piece.
