Shadows of the Damned, officially abbreviated as Damned or DMD, is an upcoming 2011 video game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles. The game follows the story of Garcia Hotspur who goes to hell to battle its evils in order to save his true love. The game is the result of collaboration between Goichi Suda and Shinji Mikami, and will combine the styles of the two producers, namely the "punk rock" edge of the former and the "psychological action thriller" of the latter.[1]
Development
The game's history can be traced back to 2005, when Suda51 and Shinji Mikami (creator of the Resident Evil series) became good friends while working together on the hit video game Killer7. Suda wanted to make another horror game exclusively for the PlayStation 3. With his first horror title Michigan: Report From Hell receiving decent sales in Japan, Suda immediately began working on Kurayami (Japanese for 'Darkness') in his spare time. In 2008, Suda presented the game's concept to EA Games, who agreed to license the Unreal Engine 3 and to publish the game to a worldwide audience. Shinji Mikami was then invited to executive-produce the project. Suda wanted to announce the game at E3 2009, but was not allowed to do so, due to a media silence agreement between Grasshopper Manufacture and EA Games. In December 2009, Akira Yamaoka (Sound Designer for the Silent Hill series) left Konami after finishing his work on Silent Hill: Shattered Memories and joined Grasshopper Manufacture because he enjoyed No More Heroes. Yamaoka began work as the sound designer for the game. Shadows of the Damned was finally unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show 2010.
