'Shadow Complex Remastered' Coming To PS4 This May: Check Out The Announcement Trailer

Shadow Complex, previously exclusive to Xbox 360 consoles, has been remastered for modern play and is coming to the PlayStation 4 (PS4).

Now referred to as Shadow Complex Remastered, the game is set for an official launch to PS4 this May 3, adding to previously released platforms for the remastered version on PC and Xbox One.

Donald Mustard, Co-Founder and Creative Director for ChAIR Entertainment Group, announced on the PlayStation blog that they've completed works on the game and along with remastered graphics, added additional content for players.

The 2.5D side-scrolling design of Shadow Complex Remastered is what most nostalgic (and even new) players are keeping an eye out for in the current game industry. Despite the latest trends to keep game graphics as fresh and realistic as the physical world, a particular niche of gamers has a certain fondness for the past ages of gaming.

"Sometimes you don't need to reinvent the wheel to have a big seller, you just have to polish that wheel up nice and neat," Cinemablend writes.

Shadow Complex Remastered reinvents itself by incorporating "new technologies" with "old concepts" thereby producing a unique blend of both worlds, inspired by classic nonlinear 2D side-scrolling games such as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Super Metroid.

"Shadow Complex Remastered gives you all of the original game content, updated with graphical enhancements, and additional Master Challenges," Mustard describes.

The updated version will offer its original 10-hour gameplay content which can be played "through multiple playthroughs" as players unlock Master Challenges and item upgrades.

Also included in the PS4 release are the new melee takedowns and animations added to allow close combat as well as a new mode called Proving Grounds where players can hone their skills to become masters of the remastered version of Shadow Complex.

Additional gameplay updates and announcements can be followed through the game's official Twitch channel.
