Wer gerne Metal-Cover von Blind-Guardian-Alben zum Leben erwecken würde, könnte bald mit Shadowgate auf seine Kosten kommen: Entwickler Abstraction Games hat angekündigt, dass der 30 Jahre alte Macintosh-Oldie im Herbst für PlayStation 4, Xbox One und die Switch neu aufgelegt werden soll. Das Adventure schickt den Spieler in eine verwinkelte Burg, in deren Gemäuern der gefürchtete "Warlock Lord" lauert.

Aufbauend auf einem PC-Remake sollen die neuen Konsolenfassungen u.a. bei der Bedienung verändert werden:

"This new console version builds upon the massively re-imagined PC version of the original Shadowgate and features a refined user interface and intuitive wheel-based icon command system. Original developer Zojoi painstakingly redesigned the game from the ground up, adding in tons of new mind-bending puzzles, lots of new rooms with stunning hand-painted 2D graphical detail, and more objects to interact with and help players along on their quest. Abstraction Games worked alongside Zojoi to not only offer technical assistance on reimagining the game for console but to also enhance the experience with new ideas and creative direction, ensuring Shadowgate feels just at home on console as it does on PC. Get ready brave adventurer, the castle awaits!
