As it was revealed at Sony’s Playstation Experience games convention, Grim Fandango’s remastered edition is coming to Playstation 4 and Vita, and it’s coming next month.
The game – first shown off at this past E3 – will be ready to buy this Jan. 27th. Check out the trailer below for a quick trip down the Land of the Dead.
Grim Fandango takes place in the Land of the Dead, where recently departed souls aim to make their way to the Ninth Underworld. Good deeds in life are rewarded by access to better travel packages to assist in making the journey of the soul, the best of which is the Number Nine, a train that takes four minutes to reach the gate to the Ninth Underworld.
The travel agents of the Department of Death act as the Grim Reaper to escort the souls from the mortal world to the Land of the Dead, and then determine which mode of transport the soul has merited. Each year on the Day of the Dead, these souls are allowed to visit their families in the Land of the Living, all in spiffy attire fitting of the holiday.
The game’s garnered a set-up of its own for eager fans at the convention and as Double Fine’s Greg Rice shows us, Grim Fandango creator Tim Schafer rather enjoys it.
