Well more than a decade after its original release, Shadows of the Damned is set to make an unlikely return with its upcoming remaster, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, and though even such a release would have been difficult to imagine until not that long ago, developer Grasshopper Manufacture believes the upcoming remaster may even potentially pave the way for a sequel- given a certain level of success, that is.
Speaking in a recent interview with Gematsu, when asked about whether Shadows of the Damned might see entirely new instalments following the release of its upcoming remaster, director and Grasshopper Manufacture founder Goichi Suda (aka Suda51) stated that should the remaster sell well enough and be well received, the studio could consider the idea of a sequel.
“If the remaster sells well enough, and if it seems like enough people really want it, then some sort of continuation of the series would absolutely be something we would at least consider working on in the future,” Suda said.
Considering the fact that Shadows of the Damned was a fully dead and buried IP until quite recently, fans will take even a slight chance of a sequel. Of course, for that, the remaster will need to make a big enough mark.
Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered is due out on October 31 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
