Prepare for a blood-soaked return to the 90s with Data East’s classic brawler, Night Slasher. The game, known for its pixelated horror aesthetics and monster-killing fighters, is set for a high-definition remake scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and GOG come September 26th.

Key Points from the Remake:

• Entirely Redrawn Visuals: The new version ditches the classic pixel art in favor of cartoon-like HD graphics for a fresh visual experience. Think something akin to the update seen in Streets of Rage 4.
• Enhanced Roster & Combat: Expect an expanded roster of heroes, improved control schemes, updated combat mechanics that promise smoother gameplay, and better sound effects and audio quality.
• Character Selection Screen: The revamped character select screen offers a cleaner interface for picking your fighter from the horde of monsters and hunters.

Do you think it was the right decision to replace the pixel-art with hand-drawn, HD graphics?
