‘Shadow Man: Remastered’ Gets April Release Date; Valiant Rebooting ‘Shadowman’ Comic
Nightdive Studios is set to release their updated and enhanced version of Shadow Man: Remastered on April 15 for PC via Steam, GOG and the Epic Game Store. The PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch versions will be announced at a later date. Coinciding with the announcement is original creator and comics publisher Valiant Entertainment’s announcement that they will be releasing a reboot of the comic series, as well!
Written by Cullen Bunn (Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe, Asgardians of the Galaxy, The Sixth Gun Harrow County, Venom) and illustrated by artist Jon Davis-Hunt (Clean Room), SHADOWMAN #1 will launch on April 28th, and will be available at retail shops, as well as in digital format. You can actually check out a preview panel on Comicbook.com.
Originally released on the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Dreamcast and PC, Shadow Man: Remastered follows Michael LeRoi, the current holder of the voodoo warrior moniker “Shadow Man”, as he battles the forces of darkness attempting to cross-over from their realm into the world of the living.
The remastered version of the game features the following:
- 4K widescreen support for the latest monitors
- Anti-aliasing and “all sorts of other post-processing magic” to smooth out the image
- A whole new visual experience with dynamic shadow mapping and per-pixel lighting
- Never-before-seen content cut from the original game
- High Dynamic Range (HDR) rendering to really take advantage of modern displays
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
