It would seem fans of Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem may be getting the sequel they've wanted after all. Or well, at least in spirit. Precursor Games will start their Kickstarter campaign for Shadow of the Eternals in just under 8 hours.
Speaking with IGN, Precursor confirmed the 12 episode spiritual successor is heading to PC and Wii U.
IGN were teasing an interview with Denis Dyack, so it would certainly appear the longtime Silicon Knights leader is heavily involved.
Here's a brief plot description from IGN:
"When Detective Paul Becker is called to one of the bloodiest gang massacres in Louisiana state history, only two survivors remain from a brutal conflict between two rival cults. As Becker begins his interrogations of the suspects, their combined recollections will uncover the truth about the ‘Eternals'.
Featuring an ensemble cast of heroes and villains, Shadow of the Eternals will span over 2500 years of history throughout Egypt, England, Hungary, and the United States. Players will question the perception of reality as they try to balance the mechanics of combat, magick, and sanity events to progress through the adventure.
Shadow of the Eternals will take players on a memorable journey throughout time; weaving historical fact with disturbing fiction to create an experience unlike any other."
The Kickstarter campaign has an ambitious goal of $1,500,000 and a number of stretch goals. Remains to be seen how this one fares...
