‘Shadows of the Damned: Remaster’ Coming “Probably” to All Current Platforms [Trailer]
Grasshopper Manufacture has announced that their remaster of Shadows of the Damned (which was teased last week) will “probably” be coming to all current platforms. The announcement was part of Grasshopper Direct 2023, which has to be seen to be believed.
The announcement was accompanied by an appropriately cheesy trailer, which played out more like an old-school ad for shopping the game around for retailers rather than its target audience. The also appropriately cheesy announcer proclaims that Shadows of the Damned protagonist Garcia Hotspur is back. “More terrifying than any demon. The most devoted, determined man in the world. Legendary demon hunter Garcia Hotspur. A nonstop action love story taking you straight through the deepest depths of hell.”
At the end of the trailer, the text proclaims that the Shadows of the Damned: Remaster is currently in development for all current platforms. Grasshopper Manufacture community manager James Mountain stated that they will keep fans updated on the remaster’s production “as soon we have more info to share.”
Originally released in June 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Shadows of the Damned put players in the boots of Garcia Hotspur, a hard-as-nails, leather-clad, motorcycle-riding professional demon hunter who finds his true love Paula has been kidnapped by vengeance-seeking demons. As he explores the furthest reaches of the netherworld, Garcia battles through Hell and back, with danger and turmoil around every corner.
During the Future Games Show, Bandai Namco and Supermassive have announced the first DLC for Little Nightmares III in “The Backstage”. Featuring new puzzles and challenges, this additional content will take players to the darkest part of the Carnevale, where they’ll meet a new character and face new perils. You won’t have to wait long to get it, either, as Little Nightmares III – The Backstage DLC will release on June 12.
In this new adventure, Low will meet Dime, a new child who wears a torch hat, which turns out to be a very helpful tool for finding their way in what lies beneath the curtains of The Carnevale. The two children will have to face new threats and use their light to find a way to save Alone from the hands of the Puppeteer.
In the original game, players meet Low and Alone, who are trapped within the Spiral, a cluster of disturbing places. The two will have to work together to survive in a dangerous world full of delusions. As they scamper and shelter on their journey to escape the grasp of an even greater threat, their senses may also lead them astray into the shadows.
Little Nightmares III is currently available for PC via Steam, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
