A few days ago, we were greeted with the announcement of Monster Boy and the Wizard of Booze coming to PC and PS4. Publisher FDG Entertainment has revealed today some new details on the upcoming title.

This is what FDG Entertainment has to say about the upcoming Monster Boy title:

A legendary game series returns with an all-new adventure! Monster Boy is a colourful side-scrolling action adventure created in cooperation with Ryuichi Nishizawa, the creator of the Wonder Boy* Monster World* series (* Trademark of SEGA Corporation Japan). Monster Boy is being created to bring back the enjoyment of classic games that shine by simplicity. Pure, exciting gameplay; upbeat music and smooth graphics.

You’ll need to overcome huge bosses, find hidden passages, discover powerful equipment and use all your wits and skills to remove a powerful curse. Monster Boy can transform into 5 different creatures, each with their own skills and abilities. Take advantage of all the unique powers to open new paths and advance in an epic story. Monster Boy is a love letter to gaming from the 80’s and 90’s – will you join us and celebrate together with us?

Since then, they were offered the opportunity to create the next Monster Boy aka Wonder Boy title.  After their Kickstarter, they were approached by Mr Ryuichi Nishizawa, the designer of the original Wonder Boy/Monster Boy and all these other Wonder Boy/Monster Boy titles.

I certainly can’t wait to get my hands on this title and I am sure a lot fans feel the same. The game looks beautiful already in its stunning HD form, with classic 2D graphics. The game will follow the previous titles offering vast exploring with many interesting locations. That’s not all, Monster Boy will be able to transform into various creatures and make use of their unique powers.
