Nightdive Resurrecting ‘Shadow Man: Remastered’ For PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch And PC
Nightdive Studios are at it again. If enhanced versions of System Shock 2 or Blade Runner aren’t your thing (why wouldn’t they be?), then how about Acclaim’s 1999 action-adventure game based on the comic series by Valiant Comics, Shadow Man?
Nightdive Studios has teamed up with Valiant Entertainment to announce Shadow Man: Remastered for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam, GOG.com). The game will be remastered using Nightdive’s KEX engine, which will add a bunch of graphical enhancements to the game. This includes 4K widescreen display, dynamic shadow mapping and per-pixel lighting, antialiasing and other visual effects. On top of that, the remaster will also restore content that was cut from the original game!
“Our goal with the remaster is to give today’s generation of gamers all the features that they expect from a modern title while preserving the qualities that made Valiant’s iconic character and the original Shadow Man game such memorable classics to begin with,” explains Nightdive Studios CEO Stephen Kick.
In Shadow Man, you are Michael LeRoi, the current incarnation of Shadow Man: A lineage of voodoo warriors who protect the world of the living (known as Liveside) from threats crossing over from Deadside.
No release date has been announced yet.
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
