After its surprise announcement last summer, the Shadows of the Damned remaster is officially releasing in 2024 - as digital store pages go live for this Xbox 360 cult classic.
Officially titled Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered, this 2011 third person shooter — originally published by EA — is being spruced up and re-released this year by developer Grasshopper Manufacture. We don't have a locked-in launch date just yet, but we're edging close to its release, with wishlisting now live.
If you never got around to playing this one back in the day, here's what to expect:
"Join the crass Garcia Hotspur and his boney buddy, Johnson, as they traverse the depths of the Underworld to steal back Garcia's kidnapped lover, Paula, from the clutches of Fleming, the Lord of the Underworld. Let the soul of rock 'n' roll run loose in the heart of the twisted hellscape that is the Underworld.
Shadows of the Damned, an action-adventure road trip through hell, has been remastered at last! Get ready for a story about rock, love, and just a little bit of demon slaying."
Alongside this new blurb, the team has also dropped some new 'Hella Remastered' screenshots - around a year on from the original game going offline. We'll drop a selection of the new images down below:

Oooooh. I missed this back in the day. Seems like as good a time as any to get into it.
If it was a complete remake from the ground up, then yes I would play it. But Remasters are usually pretty bad in my opinion and are a waste of company resources and money.
@NarutosBiggestFan This is EA we are talking about after all lol
Sick game 😎 deffo looking forward to this again. Was some daft/funny 💩 day one purchase I think 😎😎
@InterceptorAlpha - The original version is available on Game Pass via EA Play.
Weren't EA involved in the remaster of Dead Space, @HeavyHoggJP? That game was remastered very well...
Shadows of the Damned was probably my favourite game of the 360 generation. I absolutely loved it, and got the full 1000g too. This is a day one buy for me...
@Fiendish-Beaver AY STAY OUT OF MY GARDEN GROUNDHOG! But yes i guess....EA still has left a bad taste in my mouth too many times to give them faith.
Absolutely get what you are saying, @HeavyHoggJP. Just have to hope they do a reasonable job with SotD as I loved the original.
@Fiendish-Beaver Beaver on my friend!! Enjoy your weekend
You too, @HeavyHoggJP. Have a good 'un, matey...
