Shadowgate Closed Beta Launches
Twain Harte, CA – June 17,
in the year of our Lord 2014 – Feeling like getting an
early peek at what is lurking in Castle Shadowgate? Development
team Zojoi and indie games partner Reverb Triple XP announced
today that the closed Beta access of Shadowgate, one of the most
renowned adventure titles in video game history, will be
available starting today. Closed Beta access is available to
both Kickstarter backers of Shadowgate and new adventure seekers
who pre-order the “Hero” tier for $24.99.
“Launching the closed Beta of Shadowgate is an exciting step for
us as we give gamers an early taste of the bold adventure that
awaits,” said Karl Roelofs, Design Director at Zojoi. “The new
graphics and eerie music create an atmosphere that transports
gamers from their everyday lives into this harrowing dark
adventure that’s both classic and completely new. Of course, the
great part is that players will quickly learn that this new
castle is as deadly as the last.”
Shadowgate is coming to PC, Mac, iOS and Android tablets late
