Damned if you Don’t
As part of yesterday’s Grasshopper Manufacture 2023 live stream, the studio announced that its recently-revealed Shadows of the Damned: Remastered is “probably” going to be released on “all current platforms.”
A typically tongue-in-cheek promo re-introduces us to Mexican demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, who is not only “More terrifying than any demon”, but is also “the most determined, devoted man in the world”. So form a queue, ladies. The preview then describes Shadows of the Damned as “A nonstop-action love story taking you straight through the deepest depths of Hell”. Sweet.
“Coming to all current platforms,” concludes the preview, before adding “Probably.”
Elsewhere in the Grasshopper Direct, community manager James Mountain seemingly returns from the dead, while fellow CM Maddie Copp turns up cosplaying as No More Heroes‘ notorious Bad Girl. It also looks really hot under those studio lights. Of course, “Suda51” himself puts in an appearance, dazzlingly dressed in a lucha mask and green suit, reminiscent of Saints Row villain Killbane. Suda seemed a lot bigger and much more American than you may recall, but that’s just your brain playing tricks on you, as it was definitely him. Even though he had a different face.
The show closed with a fleeting glimpse of the studio’s next game, with viewers treated to what appears to be the in-game menu for the mystery project. While little can be divulged from the sneak peek, I did notice an “Emerald Flowsion” gauge, at least confirming that Goichi’s love for pro-wrestling will continue to make its mark on all of the studio’s output.
Shadows of the Damned: Remastered is currently in development for all platforms. Probably.
