Altered Beast[a] is a 2005 action-adventure beat 'em up video game for the PlayStation 2. The game is a remake of the 1988 arcade game Altered Beast. While the gameplay still involves the main character transforming into different kinds of beasts like in the original, the story, characters and setting are completely different, along with notable gameplay additions. The game was released in Europe and Japan in 2005, but was cancelled for North America.[1]

Unlike the original Altered Beast which is set in Ancient Greece, the game features a modern setting unconnected to the previous installments.
