With Larian having now officially handed the reins of the Baldur’s Gate series back to Dungeons & Dragons owners Wizards of the Coast (and their Monopoly-making parents at Hasbro) - with the developers saying they have no plans to make any DLC or a sequel - the ball for a Baldur’s Gate 4 now sits in Wizards’ court. The good news is that, yes, they also want to make a follow-up to one of the most acclaimed and successful video games of the last few years. Just don’t expect that to necessarily be anytime soon.
Shadows Of The Damned Creator Suda51 Wants To Make A Sequel
28.03.2024 - 02:01 / thegamer.com / Hella Remastered
When it comes to cult classics, you probably won't be able to find a developer out there as consistent with them as Suda51 and Grasshopper Manufacture. No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw, and Shadows of the Damned are all very well-liked games that never blew anyone away in terms of sales, but the quirky and unique elements of Suda's games have given him a very loyal and adoring fanbase.
Suda51 is now repaying that loyalty with remasters of his classic titles, Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered being one of them. However, Suda has his fingers crossed that these upcoming remasters give him the chance to revisit some of his favorite characters, as he recently explained in an interview with GameRant at PAX East 2024 that he'd love to make a sequel starring protagonist Garcia Hotspur.
Shadows of the Damned never really sold as well as Lollipop Chainsaw or the No More Heroes series, but Suda recently explained that a sequel would definitely be considered if the game performs well, urging fans to "buy as many copies as you can find" to make that hope a reality.
"Putting out a sequel is definitely something we would like to consider. So, make sure you buy as many copies as you can find in the stores."
However, even if Shadows of the Damned doesn't sell particularly well, Suda claims that his fondness for main character Garcia Hotspur and antagonist Fleming means that they could end up hopping franchises and appearing in something else, even if it isn't a full-blown sequel. Suda even reveals that he almost gave Fleming a "major role" in No More Heroes 3 before eventually deciding against it.
"I do have a soft spot in my heart for the characters in the game, specifically Garcia Hotspur and Fleming," says Suda. "With Fleming, in particular, I strongly considered adding him to No More Heroes 3 and giving him a major role. Having these characters come out in something again, whether it’s a sequel or something else, is highly possible."
So, if you've ever felt like Shadows of the Damned needed a sequel, you know exactly what you need to do to get one. We don't have a confirmed release date for the remaster just yet, but it will be launching at some point this year, so keep an eye out and make sure to grab "as many copies as you can find" to make that sequel a reality.

Get A Free D&D Adventure Written By One Of The Original Creators
fans looking to play through a piece of history or just embark upon a classic quest are in luck as a version of one of Gary Gygax's original adventures is now available for free. While Wizards of the Coast does encourage role-players to create their own fantasy worlds, the company also releases plenty of pre-written tales to flesh out its fantasy world and serve as prompts for those who may not wish to create entire worlds. Fortunately, those who may be hesitant to purchase one of these tomes can now check out a classic adventure for nothing.

Cult Classic Shadows of the Damned Gets Hella Remastered for PS5, PS4 | Push Square
Shadows Of The Damned launched during a fascinating part of the PS3 era, where EA suddenly started publishing smaller titles, like the equally iconic Alice: Madness Returns. The business model didn’t last long, but we’re still grateful for the aforementioned third-person shooter, which was co-designed by industry icons Suda51 and Shinji Mikami. And as previously reported it’s getting a PS5 and PS4 remaster, due out later this year.

Dragon's Dogma 2's Dragonsplague Cutscene Foreshadows The True Ending
Dragon's Dogma 2 can be an absolutely brutal game when it wants to be, but one of the most punishing features has to be Dragonsplague. It's a sickness that can affect your Pawns, eventually turning them into disobedient little nuisances that can eventually go on to wipe out entire villages if left long enough. Players have resorted to extreme methods to avoid the spread, including throwing their Pawns into the ocean if they sense a whiff of disobedience.

Shadows of the Damned was released way back in 2011 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as a collaboration between two of the most iconic Japanese video game makers: Shinji Mikami (of Resident Evil fame) and Goichi Suda, otherwise known as Suda51.
