Revamped Classic: 2011 PS3 and Xbox 360 Game Set for Remastered Release

Shadows of the Damned, the collaborative creation of Suda51 and Shinji Mikami, is set to receive a remaster from Grasshopper Manufacture. The game seamlessly combines Mikami's Resident Evil 4-style third-person shooter gameplay with Suda51's signature humor, and though it was met with positive reviews upon its release under EA, it fell short of sales expectations. While Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play subscribers had access to the game for a while, it has since been delisted from digital storefronts. This remaster offers Shadows of the Damned a chance to reclaim its place in the gaming world.

Details on the Shadows of the Damned remaster are currently scarce, with only confirmation that it is in development. However, more information is expected to be revealed during a special Grasshopper Manufacture stream on June 14. Fans can anticipate learning which platforms the game will target and potentially even the release date. It is recommended that anyone interested tune in on June 14 to stay up-to-date on the latest news. This remastered version marks Grasshopper Manufacture's first non-No More Heroes project in six years, following the releases of Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes in 2019 and No More Heroes 3 in 2021. While some fans may be eager for the developer to move on to something new, others will relish the opportunity to revisit Shadows of the Damned.

The upcoming Shadows of the Damned remaster has the potential to surpass the original game by addressing some of its flaws. With improved gameplay and graphics, the remaster could attract a larger audience and potentially lead to increased sales. This could also pave the way for a potential sequel, which Suda51 has expressed interest in before. While nothing is confirmed yet, fans can anticipate the release of the remaster for now.

Shadows of the Damned Remastered is in development.
