It appears that fans are working on remakes of Tomb Raider: Legend and Soul Reaver in Unreal Engine 5. Now before getting excited, know that these two projects are in a very early development phase. So no, don’t expect to be playing them anytime soon.
The Soul Reaver Remake is a cool project by Ali Aljaber. Ali has shared a video showing off a new locomotion system. With this, you can fly, fight, climb, and interact with switches and boxes. The next update will focus on magic powers and some wandering enemies. Again, this is a WIP project. Thus, you should temper your expectations.
The Tomb Raider: Legend Remake in UE5 is in an even earlier dev state. Monkey Riot, the developer, is figuring out how to make the controls just right before working on the game’s environments. And even though it’s early, Lara moves really well in this prototype, which is pretty cool.
Now I’m certain that some of you won’t like these projects. I get it. Personally, though, I kind of enjoy these prototype demos. And, since we’ll never get an official remake of Soul Reaver, I kind of hope that Ali Aljaber will keep working on it.
If you’re into Unreal Engine 5, you’ve got to check out these other awesome fan video remakes. There are faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. Then there’s this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look. Don’t miss the Grand Theft Auto 6 fan concept in UE5; it’s pretty impressive. You should also watch the full-on remake video for Final Fantasy 9.
Need for Speed Most Wanted, Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground have also received some cool remakes. And if that’s not enough, there are fan remakes for Death Stranding, Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s Solitude, Grand Theft Auto 4, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, Skyrim’s Winterhold and Skyrim’s Whiterun. There is also this Studio Ghibli stylized teaser for Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5. So, lots of UE5 fan remakes, right? Well, since they’re all really cool, we suggest giving them a watch.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

has any of these remakes ever come out? No so whats the point of making articles about them.
No one really expects a release, but it’s a caress to the soul to see even a bit of an ancient game come back to life with new graphics, AND there are a handful that actually grow bigger and get released into fan remakes or big mods.
only its not coming back its one area that doesnt look like original game, its a nothing burger.
Lol, cant forget my friend playing Tomb Raider legend. He was hard core fan, but TR Legend was one big mess full with bugs. Was fun watching him torture himself, think that he got locked on last boss due to an bug…
For the love of god, i f*cking need a proper remaster of Soul Reaver with increased geometry and textures before i die!!!
The overall artistic direction of this, specifically colors, don’t look at all like the original.
Why didn’t I hear about Soul Reaver before🤨
Seems like an old masterpiece. Definitely checking it out 🙂
It was a mature kind of fantasy, fascinatingly otherworldly and incredibly intriguing. It’s old, 99-00, but at the time, I don’t think there was anything anywhere near something like it, and what it did with the real vs spectral plane physical differences in geometry and interaction, and Raziel’s skills evolving, and the soul reaver evolving and the whole tone of the story… Ooffff, it blew my mind in a million pieces and still does. (sheds tear)
quite possibly some of the best writing ever in a game, sadly it ends in a cliffhanger because they didnt have time to make the whole game there is so much missing content, what i wouldnt give for a nightdive remake with mouse support, its very similar to tomb raider and dark souls. Id get the dreamcast version with the texture mod if i was you.
I just could not leave your web site before suggesting that I really enjoyed the standard information a person supply to your visitors Is gonna be again steadily in order to check up on new posts
of course like your website but you have to check the spelling on several of your posts A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I in finding it very troublesome to inform the reality on the other hand I will certainly come back again
These people just want attention. If they cared, they would just shut up about what they were making until it was done.
Legacy of kain series is probably one the few things that i think about regularly. the overall ancient tone of the music and the environment and the sinister drama of the plot and the feeling of being a predator in blood omen 2 and an outcast in soul reaver 2 are what occupy my mind from time to time.
I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today yet I never found any interesting article like yours It is pretty worth enough for me In my opinion if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did the web will be much more useful than ever before
