I’m always down for some old school gaming even if they’ve been remastered. Indie developer 10tons today announced that they will be releasing a remastered version of their very first game, Crimsonland on PS4 and Steam this summer. The game looks to be a twin stick shooter type game when it hits PS4 and will include new art assets. The game was originally released back in 2003 for Windows platform and is basically an arena shooter. If you check out the trailer below, it actually looks like a pretty fun little game. Hopefully we’ll be able to check it out when it hits this summer.
