UTV Ignition Games has just announced that El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron will be coming to PC. Although the team has not revealed any additional details, it did share the following two PC screenshots.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is developed by the legendary Sawaki Takeyasu (“Devil May Cry”, “Steel Battalion”, “Okami”, “Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse”, “Infinite Space”, ”God Wars”, “The Lost Child”).
This game is a combination of 2D and 3D platforming, with slick and energising combat. In this game, players will need to harness natural combat skills to master a range of powerful and ‘heavenly’ weapons under the guidance of the watchful Archangels.
Producer Sawaki Takeyasu said:
“It has been 10 years since the release of El Shaddai on PS3 and Xbox 360 and we have been asked constantly by PC gamers and fans of the game for its release on this platform. We are glad to announce its release on Steam very soon!”
The following screenshots are really flashy and can hide a lot of its graphical shortcomings. After all, we are talking about a game that came out 10 years ago. And, to be honest, I don’t expect this to feature higher polygon characters or take advantage of modern PC techniques.
Still, and for all of its fans, this is great news. However, it feels a bit too late IMO.
Enjoy the screenshots and stay tuned for more!

Yay! More hack n slash!
Speaking of ‘hack n slash’, is Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance any good ? Assuming you have played it though. Just got a free Steam gift code, lol.
Some camera issues and difficulty spikes on some bosses, but it’s a really decent game IMO, i don’t know how it plays with KB/M though
Yeah, I think some camera/control issues are there, but unfortunately I can only play with KB/M. Never used a controller for gaming.
That game is a masterpiece.
It is an amazing title.
Its Boring, I abandoned it after 1 hour
Maybe is just your taste, cause it isn’t boring at all.
Action all the way.
Yes it is though you need to mod it for resolutions above 1080P unfortunately. Also the controls take a bit of getting used to due to the 360 slashing mechanic.
Hey spencer, good to see your reply here ! Okay, well I’m on 1080p, so I hope the game supports at least this resolution from the get go ?
Btw, yes I know some control issues are there in the PC version.
Hey really ? It contains METAL tracks, or some influences from metal ! 😀
Awesome…Checking them out.
It’s f*king Awesome! that is if you can revel in it’s absurdity. The writing is cheesy as hell. Honestly some of it is tedious, but by the end all you are gonna remember are the bosses cause they are so damn good! Do play it!
I consider it Platinum’s best.
Go for it!
Good game, and good news, the more old games they release on PC the better.
Old is GOLD after all ! 😀
Not having to mess with emulators is also a good thing.
Indeed. But I have nothing against Emulators though.
Same
this was indeed an interesting game when i owned it a while back.
it definitely has a place in the pc collection of classics.
This is the first time I’m hearing about this PC game/title though, ja!
The announcement wasn’t made by UTV Ignition Games; that company shut down long ago. The announcement was made by the game’s director Sawaki Takeyasu.
All this time and this is the first time I heard about it.
Was happier not knowing.
sounds exotic, can’t wait
