Nightdive Studios released last month a remastered version of Shadow Man. However, it appears that some indie devs are working on a full remake of the game in Unreal Engine 4, and there is a trailer of it that you can watch below.
Now unfortunately we don’t have any additional details about this project. From the looks of it, Tim Haywood – the composer of the original Shadow Man – is involved in it. Haywood responded to a comment in this video, claiming that the 3D model of LeRoi is a placeholder and that it will be replaced with a better one.
Neither Valiant Entertainment nor Nightdive has announced any new Shadow Man game. So yeah, this feels more like a fan project.
Still, this first trailer looks really cool, and it’s way more polished than your typical Unreal Engine 4 fan remake. Thus, we believe that it at least deserves your attention.
There is currently no ETA on when – and if – a playable version of The Shadow Man will be available to the public.
Stay tuned for more!

I need to stop clicking on these. Maybe then it’ll stop
Nice portfolio project, here’s your Cease & Desist letter so you have your excuse and can go work on soulless sequels for Ubisoft or whatever. Projects like this are not sincere attempts. No, a team of unpaid modder types is not going to make f’in SHADOW MAN from scratch in current-gen UE4 graphics. That’s just an attention grab, something to show off their skills. The smart members of the team are sending out their resumes as we speak. They have no intention to finish the game.
