New Images and Statements about Darkness: Prince of Shadows
Nearly a year after the first statements, Darkness: Prince of Shadows is preparing for a major step toward its official presentation. The development team at ActionGames.c.l.r., the well-known Italian indie studio, has released new images of the game and provided additional details on its progress, building significant anticipation among fans.
“The development of Darkness: Prince of Shadows is going smoothly, and we expect to showcase the demo in the first months of 2025,” the developers said, adding excitedly, “While waiting for that moment, we decided to share some new images that we are particularly proud of.”
In recent months, the team has focused on refining the gameplay mechanics, introducing new upgrades, improving the visual quality of the menus, and enhancing the gameplay with new battles and weapons. “We’ve worked hard to ensure a smoother and more immersive gaming experience,” they explained.
Regarding supported platforms, the developers confirmed that Darkness: Prince of Shadows will be available on Steam, where players can already add it to their wishlist. However, the console question remains uncertain. “The game will definitely be available for PC, but a possible console release is not ruled out,” they said.
Although no specific details about which consoles will be involved have been provided, the developers emphasized that Darkness: Prince of Shadows will be compatible with Xbox and PlayStation controllers, offering greater comfort for players less familiar with PC gaming. Additionally, unlike DarkenDerek: The Last Fallen (available for free), the new title will support subtitles in languages other than English and Italian, making the game more accessible to a global audience.
“For all other questions, we’ll let the images speak,” the developers added, maintaining an air of mystery and generating further curiosity.
Unanswered questions, such as final platforms and the number of supported languages, keep the game shrouded in mystery. Fans are wondering if the compatibility with Sony and Microsoft controllers is a hint or simply a strategy to surprise at the demo launch.
A Game with Great Ambitions
What is clear, however, is that Darkness: Prince of Shadows marks a turning point for ActionGames.c.l.r., showing how this small studio of just three people has managed to create a high-quality game despite limited resources. With a 2.5D setting and mechanics reminiscent of titles like Dante’s Inferno and the early chapters of God of War, the game is already generating high expectations among fans of the action-adventure genre.
With Darkness: Prince of Shadows, the mystery deepens, and the game turns into an enigma to be gradually unveiled in every aspect. The countdown for the demo launch has already begun, but for now, the only certainty is that the gaming world is watching it with great interest.
