From Press Release:
Tokyo – March 21st, 2024 – NetEase Games is pleased to announce that the remastered version of Shadows of the Damned – the 2011 PS3/Xbox 360 action-adventure title developed by Goichi “Suda51” Suda-led Grasshopper Manufacture – will soon be released for PlayStation®5/PlayStation®4/Xbox Series X|S/Xbox One/Steam/Switch as Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered.

Prior to its release, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered will be on display with a playable demo available at PAX East 2024, one of the largest gaming events in North America, to be held in Boston from Thursday, March 21st through Sunday, March 24th. A special video featuring GhM and SotD:HR at PAX East will be posted to the Grasshopper Archives YouTube channel at a later date, so keep an eye out for that, too.
The game takes players on a wild ride with demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, as he kicks demon ass and makes his way through the darkest depths of Hell, lighting up the darkness with his burning passion on a mission to rescue his true love from an insidious demon king.
A crazy, passionate, raging “love-hate road movie”
The rugged and somewhat-misguided protagonist Garcia and his sidekick, Johnson the skull, rock out with their… hearts out throughout the insanity of Hell in order to recapture his girlfriend Paula, who has been kidnapped by Fleming, the demon king of Hell.
Go buck wild through the hilarious dungeons of Hell using powers of “light & dark”
“Light and dark” are the keys to winning this battle. In the darkness, the demons grow in strength – as if they were rocking out in the club – and in the light, they weaken, like waking up with a hardcore hangover. Use your partner Johnson and his myriad weapon-based forms to blast your way through the darkness of Hell.
An action-adventure gem forged by a pair of amazing game creators
A scenario by Suda51 and Shinji Mikami’s TPS artistry fused together in a masterpiece!
Respective notable works:
Goichi “Suda51” Suda: No More Heroes series, killer7, etc.
Shinji Mikami: Resident Evil, God Hand, etc.
