Shadow Man 2021
Shadow Man is a 1999 action-adventure video game created by Acclaim Studios Teesside and distributed by Acclaim Entertainment. The title draws from the Shadow Man comic series released by Valiant Comics. Players could enjoy the game on Nintendo 64, Microsoft Windows, and PlayStation when it launched on August 31, 1999, with a Dreamcast edition coming later on December 1.
Nightdive Studios reissued the game in September 2013 for Windows and OS X through digital platforms. The company subsequently produced an enhanced version featuring better visuals and restored elements, launching on Windows in April 2021 and PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch in January 2022.
Reviewers responded favorably to Shadow Man, noting its visual design, narrative, and overall execution. Nonetheless, the PlayStation variant faced criticism due to subpar performance. A follow-up titled Shadow Man: 2econd Coming appeared for PlayStation 2 in 2002. Additionally, a new game featuring Jack Boniface, Shadowman: Darque Legacy, was declared in 2023.
