Oh, boy. If you thought you were having a tough time with the Soulsborne games, are you in for a shock. Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection, a reboot of the original series from 1985, looks to give players the brutally challenging experience they purportedly love. Check out the announcement trailer below!
UPDATE December 14: The original piece incorrectly stated Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection was a remake. This new title is a reboot of the franchise.
Revealed at the Game Awards 2020, Ghost ‘n Goblins Resurrection offers up a familiar experience for anyone that’s been around since the days of arcades. The popular series has seen a few releases across consoles and mobile devices, with most players likely experiencing it recently via the Nintendo Switch Online program. As a reboot, Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection looks to capture the challenging gameplay of the original titles while also including updated features and gorgeous new visuals.
For those not in the know, the series is renowned for its difficulty, with players dying in one hit unless they have managed to collect pieces of armor. With little to their name than a spear that can be thrown and a few other weapons that can be found, the players must fight through levels riddled with monsters. It's basically Dark Souls hard before Dark Souls hard was a thing.
Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection is scheduled to release on February 25, 2021 on Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo eShop. Be sure to check out the Game Awards 2020 page for every major announcement and reveal from this year’s show.
