Birch continued, “And we haven’t forgotten about Aarbron! The game’s protagonist received upgrades to the full extent of his abilities and we’ve equipped him with some of the mystic artefacts that add much more depth to gameplay.”
A special PS4 theme will be available to players who pre-order the game and Birch said that Shadow of the Beast will be available for pre-order in the PlayStation Store “soon.”
Shadow of the Beast launches May 17, 2016 exclusively on PS4.
