Grasshopper Manufacture has revealed when fans can play the first demo of the upcoming Shadows of the Damnedremaster, now titled Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered. A Shadows of the Damned remaster was announced last June, surprising many people as it was an underrated third-person shooter from the company and had been out of the limelight for over a decade.
Shadows of the Damned was developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published by Electronic Arts in 2011. The game was spearheaded by director Suda51, who collaborated with former Resident Evil creative head Shinji Mikami and former Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka. Shadows of the Damned had a troubled production cycle, which Suda51 had expressed his frustrations over in the past. While the game received mixed reviews on launch, Shadows of the Damned has accrued a bit of a cult following over the years after fans revisited the original game before it was digitally delisted in 2021. Suda51 expressed enough fondness for Shadows of the Damned that he and Grasshopper got the IP rights from EA to publish the remaster, and fans will get the chance to play it for themselves soon.
Grasshopper Manufacture released a brand-new trailer for Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, announcing its new title and revealing when players can play its first demo: PAX East, which is running from March 21-24 this year. PAX East is an annual expo taking place in Boston that features a number of game developers and gaming personalities. Celebrities like Game Theory creator MatPat, Final Fantasy 16 voice actor Ben Starr, and other notable creators will be present at the event. Grasshopper Manufacture and its parent company NetEase will have its own booth that contains a playable demo of Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered.
