Hi there, PlayStation fans! Were delighted to share an element of our game that means a lot to us. This time we want to tell you about the heritage of Shadow of the Beast and the ways we honor it.
As fans of the original, we wanted to make sure that we did everything we could to give new players that same experience that inspired us. To that end weve implemented a full emulation of the original game as an unlockable bonus! So you get the entire original game playable on your PS4 included within the new Shadow of the Beast!
Its something of a notoriously difficult game, so weve added an infinite lives mode and some other helpful features that should give you a fighting chance of reaching the end these can be disabled for anyone brave enough!
We know music is incredibly important to the atmosphere of Shadow of the Beast. The incredibly talented Ian Livingstone has produced a fantastic dynamic soundtrack specifically to complement our take on this universe, with each level getting its own theme and the music escalating as the fighting increases in intensity.
In his pursuit of finding the right sounds for the game, he has investigated many unique instruments to keep the haunting and alien sound that helps define this universe. Fans of the 1989 games music will notice lots of elements and themes familiar to them that are subtly woven into the compositions they hear.
There are even more treats for fans of the original music as weve also included the original David Whittaker score as an unlockable in the game. And seeing many requests for one particular feature made us decide we had to include it: once youve earned enough Mana within the game, you can unlock the option to play with Davids amazing music as an alternative soundtrack!
If all that isnt amazing enough, the complete soundtrack will be available to download as a standalone purchase on PlayStation Store when the game is released.
