Following its well-received Switch launch, Ghosts ‘N Goblins Resurrection – Capcom’s striking reboot of the classic 80s platform series – is coming to Xbox, PlayStation, and PC on 1st June.
Ghosts ‘N Goblins Resurrection, which released on Switch in February, takes the side-scrolling, sword-swinging set-up of the 36-year-old arcade original – in which brave knight Arthur and his famed underpants embark on a quest to save princess Prin-Prin from the demon king Astaroth – and imbues it with a new (and somewhat divisive) art-style, plus a range of other additions.
There are new stages – albeit ones drawing inspiration from earlier games – alongside remixed “shadow” variants, new weapons, a new two-player co-op mode, plus some welcome accessibility features. Resurrection, likes its notoriously challenging forebears, is a tough game, but offers some respite with four difficulty levels, adding check points, infinite lives, and more.
