A video game adaptation of the Shadowman comic series is in development from Blowfish Studios. Shadowman: Darque Legacy is an upcoming action-horror game being worked on for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC for both Steam and Epic Games Store.
Blowfish, in partnership with Valiant Entertainment, aims to place you in the shoes of Jack Boniface and other Shadowmen as they go up against the forces of Deadside. You will face off against "horrifying inhuman entities with challenging melee combat." Players will go from the land of the living to the "hellish realm of the Deadside as you cross the veil between both."
If you don't read comics but still know the name "Shadowman" from somewhere, that may be due to the fact that this is not the IP's first venture into the world of video games. There were a couple of earlier titles released back on the PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Nintendo 64, and PC. The latest title was the PlayStation 2 game Shadow Man: 2econd Coming.
Shadowman: Darque Legacy apparently has a website, but it's either not working or the site is so new that the DNS hasn't propagated yet because it just will not load for me here. You can otherwise just follow the game's Twitter for the latest info.
In SHADOWMAN® Darque Legacy, duel against a horrifying cast of enemies in challenging, visceral combat. Clash with the fanatical Brethren cultists, from hammer-wielding brutes to sorcerous necromancers, and battle truly wretched creatures that have slithered forth from the most desolate depths. Deliver brutal and bloody finishers with a range of Shadowman weapons.
