At Tokyo Game Show 2024, crim founder and game director Sawaki Takeyasu revealed during a Denfaminicogamer creator talk live stream that a PlayStation 5 version of El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster is currently in development. Denfaminicogamer noted that hat since Takeyasu holds the rights to El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron, he can handle the property however he likes instead of focusing solely on potential sales and can also use the property in ways that could raise its popularity.
Takeyasu responded,
“That’s right, I can say whatever I want. For example, I’m saying this for the first time, but it’s completely fine for me to say right now that we’re making a PlayStation 5 version of El Shaddai.”
Denfaminico replied
“That’s a world premiere! Is it OK to say that on this program?”
Takeyasu:
“I just thought of it, and now I can say it. That’s the benefit of holding the rights.”
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster is currently available for Switch and PC via Steam. You can see our review of the Switch version here.
