Electronic Arts has today confirmed that Shadows of the Damned has been delayed and will not be hitting shelves until June 21st, a fortnight after the initial 7th June release date.
The game follows the story of Garcia Hotspur, a demon hunter 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 designers, namely the “punk rock” edge of the former and the “psychological action thriller” of the latter.
Suda and Mikami had previously collaborated on Killer 7 and Mikami is better known for helping to bring back the Resident Evil franchise from the dead. Shadows of the Damned will also feature a soundtrack composed by Skira Yamaoka who was behind the score in the Silent Hill games.
