Shadows Of The Damned Is Getting Remastered

Shadow of the Damned, a 2011 game that spent years in purgatory is finally getting a new chance to shine with remaster. Grasshopper Manufacture will also be holding an E3 style presentation in the next few days.

Shadows of the Damned was the product of a collaboration between Grasshopper’s Goichi Suda (AKA Suda51), who wrote the game, and Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami, who served as a producer. It’s a third-person shooter about demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, who must rescue his girlfriend after she’s abducted by the forces of the underworld with the help of his trusty talking phallic demon, Johnson. The game’s bombastic, supernatural action and absurd sense of humor made it generally well-liked upon release (We scored it a 9.25 out of 10 in our review), but it has never been ported beyond its original platforms on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. This is about to change.

Although the humorous trailer didn’t give any information about the remastering, it’s likely that we will learn more on the debut Grasshopper Direct at June 14. This event is to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the studio and will begin at 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time (12:01 a.m. ET). The event will be broadcast live in the U.S. at 9 p.m. ET (12 a.m. PT).
