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. Although the hyper-violent, third-person corridor shooter/action-adventure romp didn't make waves with its sales, critics were pretty positive. And now, after 13 long years, Grasshopper and Suda are bringingShadows of the Damned back with theHella Remastered edition, launching sometime this year.
During PAX East 2024, Game Rant sat down and chatted with Goichi Suda about Shadows of the Damned, what the characters mean to him, and his thoughts on a potential sequel.
There's a full interview with Suda51 that we will publish on the site soon; once it's live, we'll be sure to link it here.
Considering that Shadows of the Damned did not sell as well as other high-profile Suda51 games, it was surprising to see a remaster come out of the blue. In a much different time and with more people playing video games than ever, we asked Suda51 if the new remaster for Shadows of the Damned manages to sell enough copies, is there a chance for your studio to start development on another game in the series?
We also asked him if he would like to see more character development of the main cast, like Garcia and Fleming.
Suda51 stated that if Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered does sell well enough, then "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."
Suda continues by saying, «Even if we don't end up putting out a straight-up sequel or continuation or whatever, I do have a soft spot in my heart for the characters in the game, specifically Garcia Hotspur and Fleming. 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.»
Suda51 and Grasshopper's latest release wasNo More Heroes 3 for the Nintendo Switch back in 2021, and the ending sort of closes the chapter on Travis Touchdown's story, at least for now. The game maker is now working onHotel Barcelona, a 2.5D action-sidescroller, as a collaborative project with SWERY, who is most known for the Deadly Premonition series.
Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered launches in 2024 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

Fallout is a franchise that’s held together by tone just as much as any unifying story beats or canon. The series’ distinct post-apocalyptic vision of an America that never escaped the wide eyes, fake smiles, and faker optimism of the Cold War has become iconic, and its version of Americana shot through with radioactive black humor is more identifiable than any single character from the games will ever be (except Vault Boy, of course). It’s a series that revels in its ability to be funny, touching, sad, sweet, and disgusting all in a single moment. And that tone is what Amazon Prime Video’s new Fallout TV series captures best, and what makes it an excellent addition to the franchise, rather than just an adaptation.
