Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered Sets Halloween Release Date

Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered has a release date: October 31, 2024. Yep, that’s Halloween.

The action adventure remaster from Suda51 (No More Heroes, killer7) and Shinji Mikami (Resident Evil, God Hand) launches then across PC via Steam, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.

Shadows of the Damned launched first in 2011 on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, developed by a Goichi “Suda51” Suda-led Grasshopper Manufacture. It stars demon hunter Garcia Hotspur, who, alongside sidekick Johnson the skull, battles through Hell to rescue his girlfriend from Fleming, the demon king of Hell.

Hella Remastered expands on the original with new costumes, a New Game+ Mode, and 60fps/4K support. A Grasshopper Direct showcase is set for July 31, and will feature producer Shinji Mikami and Suda51.

Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered new features:

• New Costumes: In addition to Garcia’s iconic jacket, “Purple Reign”, there are now four new costumes to choose from:Placa Garcia, Ocho Corazones, Demonio Garcia and Kamikaze Garcia.
• Now includes New Game+ Mode: A feature requested since the original release, the Hella Remastered edition includes a New Game+ mode! This mode carries your weapons and upgrades over from your last playthrough into a new game, jam-packing those replays with hella power.
• 60fps/4K Support: Hell has never looked so good. Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered lets you experience the game in silky-smooth 60 frames per second, as well as supporting resolutions up to 4K, allowing you to appreciate every bone fragment and blood splatter.

(Switch supports up to 30fps; 4K is supported on PS5 / Xbox Series X / Steam only.)
