All style and grit
[Update:Grasshopper Manufacture hasconfirmedthat the two bonus episodes fromThe Silver Case‘s PS4 port will be available on Steam for free come May 30th]
Japanese developer Grasshopper Manufacture is doubling down on obscure remasters lately. This time around, it’sThe 25th Wardthat’s getting a second chance at life.
The announcement came alongside a short and stylish teaser video. It’s got all the trappings of a Suda 51 game — bold characters, guns, and text that makes next to zero sense.
The 25th Wardis a sequel toThe Silver Case. Originally available exclusively on mobile phones in Japan asThe Silver Case: Ward 25, the game was never localized for Western audiences. According to the video from Grasshopper Manufacture, the remaster’s full title isThe 25th Ward: The Silver Case. It hardly rolls off the tongue, and I’m not sure why the title’s flipped around, but I’m always down for more weird, gritty games.
Outside of the short teaser, there’s little other information aboutThe 25th Ward’s remake available. I foundThe Silver Caseto be an entertaining, if notbizarre game, so it’s safe to expect more of the same from its sequel.
