It may be iconic, but if we’re honest, the release of Shadow Man Remastered back in early 2022 failed to ignite too much enthusiasm. Here’s hoping the newly revealed Shadowman: Darque Legacy fares better.
An all-new action-horror game from Blowfish Studios as they run a partnership with renowned comic publisher Valiant Entertainment and their parent company DMG Entertainment. Shadowman: Darque Legacy will emerge from the darkness on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam and Epic in 2024.
Shadowman: Darque Legacy works as the flagship gaming title for Valiant, as players get to delve into the adventures of Jack Boniface and other Shadowmen against the forces of the Deadside. It focuses on a conspiracy that threatens to overrun the realm of the living, and Shadowman must contend with horrifying inhuman entities with challenging melee combat. You’ll be found following a dark path from the land of the living to the hellish realm of the Deadside as you cross the veil between both. Embody the hero of the dark to traverse the necromantic divide, overcome dastardly obstacles, and silence the terrifying threats lurking within.
“It’s been an honour to breathe new life into such an iconic IP, with Shadowman’s first venture into gaming since the PlayStation 2 era,” said Clinton McCleary, Game Director, Blowfish Studios. “We’re looking forward to ushering fans into the horrifying, punishing, but rewarding experience we’ve crafted. Stepping into the role of Shadowman, players will encounter a compelling cast of heroes and villains while taking their scythe to the most wretched denizens of the Deadside.”
“It is a testament to the evergreen popularity of this franchise that we’re able to tell a brand-new, out-of-continuity Shadowman story, nearly thirty years after he was first introduced to the world,” said Russell Brown, President, Consumer Products, Valiant Entertainment. “In Shadowman: Darque Legacy, our friends at Blowfish Studios has been working with our team at Valiant to write the story and are creating a unique, carefully crafted, spine-chilling Shadowman experience. We can’t wait for Shadowman fans to jump into this action-horror adventure and for gamer fans to get introduced to Shadowman and the Valiant Universe.”
Dip into the trailer for Shadowman: Darque Legacy right now and then hold tight for a Series X|S, PS5 and PC drop in 2024.
