Despite the trailer’s limited amount of footage, it accomplishes a lot to re-establish certain important places and depict them in a sharper representation with modern lighting. The statement also does not specify which platforms the game will be available on, but given that the last two Sam and Max remasters were made available on PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox, it is likely that they will be PC, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox. It is possible that The Devil’s Playhouse will be available through the same platforms. Skunkape Games will hopefully be able to announce where the game may be played shortly.
Sam and Max: Save the World Remastered came out 10 years after The Devil’s Playhouse, so it’s nice to see that “everyone’s favourite dog and rabbity-thing” is once again receiving attention. Return to Monkey Island and Pentiment’s popularity helped make 2022 a fantastic year for adventure game enthusiasts, and The Devil’s Playhouse Remastered will fit in perfectly with the current gaming scene. Perhaps the title will be popular enough to merit a brand-new Sam and Max adventure in the future, but for now, fans will be pleased to see a great season remastered.
