It’s been a while since Shadow of the Beast was announced, much less since the last update about it. It has been a while because the team has been hard at work on the game since that original reveal, and showing very little since the original trailer. Today, though, the company has released some early screenshots of Shadow of the Beast and it looks mightily impressive. The team talked at length about how the original Shadow of the Beast impacted them when they were younger, and they knew it was important to capture the same emotions in this remake.
The balance between beauty and brutality was the key feature of the development process; especially when it came to game’s visuals. The game’s core gameplay traits are focused around platforming and speedy, visceral combat. The game looks gorgeous already but with no firm release date the agonising wait goes on. We can only hope it comes out this year.
