The release of Gargoyles Remastered is only a few days away now, and the new and improved version of the game based on the animated Disney series of the same name could prove to be a fun trip down memory lane this October. Gargoyles is one of Disney's most underrated animated properties, and this remaster of the 90s game will be packed with nostalgia for gamers who grew up with the series and will hopefully introduce a younger generation to such an amazing series.

Originally released in 1995 for the Sega Genesis, the Gargoyles game launched to rave reviews and was considered one of the best games on the Sega Genesis by both critics and gamers alike.

What Gamers Should Know About Gargoyles Remastered

Gargoyles Remastered coming to modern platforms is major news for many fans who grew up with the animated series and the original game, but that also may bring up questions about how a game from 1995 will translate on current consoles. One of the greatest parts of the remastering of this game is that the developers behind the project have found various ways to revamp Gargoyles Remastered that are incredibly exciting. From graphics to the soundtrack, Gargoyles Remastered promises a fun comeback.

One of the coolest features players will find in Gargoyles Remastered is in its graphics. Of course, the graphics will be better overall, but players are given an awesome feature that allows them to spontaneously switch between the classic 16-bit graphics and visuals that look like they were taken straight from the animated series. Additionally, the sound effects and animations have been upgraded in ways that make the game feel even more like the Gargoyles series many know and love, but the graphic switching feature is definitely the most exciting new feature between these two.

These updates are exciting enough, but Disney Interactive is promising even more for players who are excited to jump into the game either again or for the very first time. Another great addition that makes Gargoyles Remastered a more accessible experience for players is an instant rewind option to help players correct their mistakes. When it comes to side-scroller platform titles, one of the worst feelings is making a minor mistake that causes the playable character to fall into the depths to their death, but this instant rewind is a great tool to combat that regret. All of these new features will be tied together by a completely remastered soundtrack that will truly serve as the cherry on top of making Gargoyles Remastered a game that honors the essence of the animated series.

Although the Sega Genesis was one of the best consoles of its time, gaming has come an incredibly far way since the original release of Gargoyles on the console in 1995. This makes the imminent release of Gargoyles Remastered even more exciting since it's been nearly 30 years since the original iteration of the game. It's going to be super exciting to see just how much the game has been improved thanks to the evolution of gaming. Gargoyles Remastered is clearly focusing on encapsulating the essence of the original game while making it a far more enjoyable experience, and it will serve as a great way to bring Gargoyles back into the spotlight.

Gargoyles Remastered launches on October 19 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
