Shadow Man is an action-adventure video game developed by Acclaim Studios Teesside and published by Acclaim Entertainment.[4] It is based on the Shadow Man comic book series published by Valiant Comics. The game was announced in 1997 and was originally slated for a late 1998 release on Nintendo 64[5] and an early 1999 release for Microsoft Windows,[6] but was delayed to August 31, 1999. A PlayStation version was also released on the same day.[2] A Dreamcast version was released three months later on December 1.[4]
Shadow Man was re-released on September 17, 2013, on GOG.com,[7][8] available for Windows[9] (with a version for Mac OS X subsequently added),[10] and later on Steam, available for Windows and OS X.[11]
Nightdive Studios, who re-released Shadow Man in 2013, developed Shadow Man Remastered, a remastered version of the game which includes 4K resolution, improved shadow mapping, per-pixel lighting, anti-aliasing and missing content that was cut from the original game. The game was released for Microsoft Windows on April 15, 2021, while the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One ports were released on January 13, 2022, and the Nintendo Switch port on January 17, 2022.[12]
A sequel, Shadow Man: 2econd Coming, was released for PlayStation 2 in 2002.
Another game starring Jack Boniface, Shadowman: Darque Legacy, has recently been announced.[13]
