34 Comments

After more than 15 years since its initial PC release, adventure classic Grim Fandango is finally making a return, with the game confirmed for a return to the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation Vita.

The remastered Grim Fandango was confirmed during today’s Sony PlayStation E3 2014 press conference. The game, which was initially released in 1998, was one of the last great adventure games, and follows the story of Manny Calavera as he sets out to solve a major mystery in the Land of the Dead.

No release dates were confirmed.

You should re-release Full Throttle. Everyone should play that game.

Oh My Freaking God! I waited so long for this. I'm in alpha state now,I'd never expected this announcement, I'm speechless. Just re-played Grim Fandango last week and secretly though about a sequel or even a remasterization, and now we'll have it. Day-one buy for me!

I just got this game recently to play it on my pc and now the remastered edition is coming.but i rather play the original one because original Monkey Island 1 & 2 are much better than the special editions.

I've never been able to get this game working on my PC so I'm glad for this decision, it's a classic. That being said I have no current gen consoles hah.

Either this is a timed exclusive or Microsoft's same day policy is really hurting them.

When the crowd roared over this my first thought was, it's an indication of the typical age of game journalists and press people and whatever other industry people are there at these press conferences.
