Shadowgate will be heading to consoles this Fall 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
This new console version builds upon the massively re-imagined point-and-click PC version of the original Shadowgate and features a refined user interface and wheel-based command system to create a console-friendly experience.
If you’re unfamiliar with the franchise, Shadowgate is a point-and-click adventure in which players take on the role of “The Seed of Prophecy,” travelling deep into the Living Castle in hopes of defeating the evil that dwells within – the dreaded Warlock Lord.
