Shadow Man is the brave and powerful supernatural hero who protects
humanity from the sinister demons that lurk in the Deadside and spill
into our world. The SHADOW MAN video game was originally
developed by Acclaim Studios and published for the PC, PlayStation,
Nintendo 64, and Dreamcast in 1999. Considered a “lost classic” for
years, the PC version of the game was published again in its original
form by Nightdive Studios in 2014. SHADOW MAN: REMASTERED was
updated using Nightdive’s proprietary KEX engine which has been used to
restore classic video games across all digital platforms including System Shock: Enhanced Edition, Turok, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, Blood: Fresh Supply, and Forsaken Remastered.
“SHADOW MAN is the perfect franchise for the remaster team at
Nightdive Studios,” said Stephen Kick, Nightdive’s CEO. “It has a dark,
unique setting and is a cult-classic with a significant fan base. We’re
extremely pleased with how the remaster turned out and can’t wait for
players to jump back into the world of Michael LeRoi, joining his fight
to keep Deadside at bay — this time in glorious 4K.”
“It’s a testament to the popularity of SHADOW MAN that we’re able to
tell his story across two different mediums this month nearly
three-decades after he was first introduced to the world,” said Russell
Brown, President, Consumer Products, Valiant Entertainment. “Working
with Nightdive to revitalize the classic SHADOW MAN game was a
joy, and we’re so excited to welcome back existing fans of the game and
comic book series, as well as introduce the franchise to newcomers.”
SHADOW MAN: REMASTERED Key Features:
- 4K widescreen support

- A whole new visual experience with dynamic shadow mapping and per-pixel lighting
- Never-before-seen content previously cut from the original game

SHADOW MAN: REMASTERED retails for 19.99 USD. A special
launch-week promotion reduces this temporarily to 14.99 USD (25 percent
off) at launch. Customers will also receive free digital comic copies of
