Developer Skunkape Games have announced a delay for Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse Remastered, their new HD re-release of the classic adventure game.
Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse Remastered will forgo its previously planned 2023 release for one a bit later – in spring 2024 for Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Switch, and PS4.
Here’s a rundown on the game:
An ancient, terrible power lies waiting…
Max has always been the more unhinged member of the Freelance Police—a lovable lunatic with a knack for spreading chaos wherever he goes. But recently his abilities have taken a supernatural turn.
It all started when he stumbled upon a mysterious toy that allows him to glimpse the future. Now Sam & Max have aroused the attention of a host of villains from across the galaxy who are hellbent on acquiring the magical Toys of Power to achieve their own ends.
As those who seek the Devil’s Toybox close in and Max’s psychic abilities grow beyond his control, the Freelance Police will come up against their most frightening adversary yet: the power of Max’s mind.
FEATURES
