    Eternal Darkness Spiritual Successor Teased in Shadow of the Eternals

    This can't be happening! Though Silicon Knights crashed and burned last year, there is still hope for a potential successor to Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. A teaser trailer for Shadow of the Eternals says that the game is from the creators of Eternal Darkness and even uses the tagline of "Darkness has returned."
    When Detective Paul Becker is called to one of the bloodiest gang massacres in Louisiana state history, only two survivors remain from a brutal conflict between two rival cults. As Becker begins his interrogations of the suspects, their combined recollections will uncover the truth about the ‘Ancients’.

    Shadow of the Ancients is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Eternal Darkness: Sanity’s Reqiuem. Featuring an ensemble cast of heroes and villains, the game will span over 2500 years of history throughout Egypt, England, Hungary, and the United States. Players will question the perception of reality as they try to balance the mechanics of combat, magick, and sanity events to progress through the adventure.

    Shadow of the Ancients will take players on a memorable journey throughout time; weaving historical fact with disturbing fiction to create an experience unlike any other.

    The developer, Precursor Games looks to pick up where Silicon Knights left off. Silicon Knights, prior to going under last year, was reportedly trying to pitch a sequel to its absolutely mental 2002 thriller, Eternal Darkness. Shadow of the Eternals is a crowd-funded title but will not be up on Kickstarter as Kickstarter is for US and UK companies only. The problem is, the Canadian based studio is looking for $1.1 million in crowd-funding. Ouch.

    You can check out the full trailer for Shadow of the Eternals over at IGN and decide for yourself. The game is reportedly coming to both the Wii U and PC.
