Since its reveal at the Gamescom event in 2013, nothing was shown for the PS4 digital title Shadow of the Beast. The reboot from Heavy Spectrum gets its first screenshots today which show Aarbron in the brutal Karamoon's desert. The action-platformer has no release date yet.

And seriously, what's the point of reviving this? People don't even know what Shadow of the Beast is anymore, and the people who do know will just be disappointed because it's nothing like the original.
PS: when I got the Mega CD Version of part 2 I was so happy, but they totally destroyed that ending music :(
Update: didn't part one run in HAM-Mode on Amiga? Looked so amazing on that 1084 monitor :)
Update 2: did you check the TurboGrafx/Duo (PC-Engine) version on CD? They really updated that soundtrack nicely...

The original wasn't a great game, but it was fun. Like Altered Beast on fast-forward. It was also incredibly COLOURFUL! Something sorely lacking in these shots! And yes, the music in the original was awesome!

BTW, the background music of the original game is really weird…

The reason i rhink this is kinda stupid is that it doesnt look like shadow of the beast much at all. Not sure if its love for the original or just a try to get some cheap hype from an old, dead IP but in the end thars what shadow of the beast is. Old and dead. To me this looks like Golden axe: beast rider or something. Barely recognizeable as shadow of the beast, but for some reason still has the name slapped on there.
