A trailer for Shadow of the Beast released yesterday shows new gameplay footage of the game. The game is the recreation of the original game Shadow of the Beast released back in 1989, made famous on the Commodore Amiga, and as such tries to stay true to the original as much as possible.
The game follows the story of the original predecessor. Once again, players control Aarbron, who was kidnapped as a child and corrupted through magic into a monstrous warrior-servant. There are no details yet about the lord Maletoth or the fact that the creature's memory of his human life returned when he watched a man being executed, facts that occurred in the first game.
Shadow of the Beast was announced at Gamescom 2013 as a Playstation 4 exclusive. The release date was originally set as March 2nd, but was delayed to May 17th.
