“Shadows of the Damned” brings some news and one statement clearly suggests a lot. Will there be a real sequel to the game soon? It’s up to you.
After more than a decade of absence, Shadows of the Damned is preparing to return thanks to a new remastered version titled Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered. Studio Grasshopper Manufacture, led by renowned developer Goichi Suda, also known as Suda51, hopes that this remaster will generate enough interest to consider a sequel to this long-shelved franchise!
A remaster and perhaps a new life for Sh adows of the Damned
Originally released in 2011, Shadows of the Damned is a third-person action game that attracted a loyal fanbase thanks to its unique blend of dark humor and gameplay. However, despite the positive reception, the game quickly fell into obscurity and the idea of a sequel seemed unlikely until the recent announcement of the remaster.
This remaster, which will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, is scheduled for October 31st. Not only does it offer a graphical and technical update to the original game, but it also represents an opportunity for Grasshopper Manufacture to take the temperature. And to see if the current audience is still interested in the dark and eccentric world of the gaming universe.
In a recent interview with Gematsu, Goichi Suda discussed the possibility of a sequel to the title. But under certain conditions. According to him, the remaster must first prove that there is sufficient interest from players. To justify the development of a new work.
If the remaster sells well enough and we see that a significant number of players want it, then some form of continuation of the series would definitely be something we would consider for the future.
The remaster promises significant improvements in terms of graphics and gameplay. The aim is to make the gaming experience even more intense.
