Shadows Of The Damned: Hella Remastered invites players to hell again this year

Grasshopper Manufacture announced during its summer showcase last year that its 2011 supernatural action game Shadows of the Damned would be receiving an encore in the form of a remaster. We now know the title of this update, as well as a release window.

The newly dubbed Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered will arrive later this year. Unfortunately, the game‘s website and Steam page don’t detail exactly how the game has been improved from a performance standpoint. Grasshopper has released screenshots, so you’ll need to use them to discern the difference between this re-release and the original. A demo of the game is currently playable at the Grasshopper booth at PAX East.

Shadows of the Damned was first released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on June 21, 2011 and was a collaboration between Resident Evil mastermind Shinji Mikami (who served as producer) and Grasshopper founder, Goichi “Suda51” Suda (the author of the game). It stars Garcia Hotspur, a demon hunter who fights his way through the depths of the underworld to rescue his captive girlfriend, Paula. The game‘s fun over-the-shoulder shooter action, combined with its irreverent, absurdist humor, earned it a 9.25 out of 10 rating in our original review and a cult following over the past 13 years. EA originally released Shadows of the Damned, and it was never ported to other platforms. Grasshopper self-published the remaster.

Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.
