DELAYED SHOCKER: Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse Remastered Pushed to 2024

Nov 30, 2023 11:42 AM

Exciting news for fans of the detective duo, Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse Remastered has been announced, but with a revised launch window set for Spring 2024. Initially slated for a release this year, the game's delay leaves eager gamers awaiting further details on a more specific date. Players looking forward to revisiting the quirky adventure will find it available on multiple platforms including Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

This remastered edition enhances the original which debuted in 2010 over several episodes on multiple platforms. The Devil's Playhouse follows Max as he discovers the 'Toys of Power' allowing him to peer into the future, which subsequently paints a target on the pair by various villains seeking these powerful artifacts. With their signature humor, Sam and Max must navigate these dangers, especially as Max's abilities begin to expand.

The new remaster promises improved lighting, cinematography, lip-syncing, and music, alongside an intuitive hint system for players who might get stuck. This launch will follow remasters of the first two seasons, providing fans with updated versions to enjoy while completing the trio of episodic adventures by Telltale with a modern polish. Stay tuned for more updates on Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse Remastered as we approach its release next year.
