Gargoyles Remastered: Nostalgia Takes Flight Again!

Gargoyles Remastered release date trailer

Do you remember the 16-bit Disney platformer Gargoyles from way back in 1995? No? Well, neither do I! And I’ve been around longer than an actual gargoyle! But for all you true fans out there, Disney has confirmed that the remastered version of this classic game will be soaring its way onto PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on October 19th.

Now, if you’re scratching your head and thinking, “Gargoyles? What’s that?” Well, you’re not alone. This game only released officially in North America on the Sega Genesis (or the Mega Drive, as it’s known everywhere else) during the cartoon’s prime time. Fun fact: it was actually supposed to come out on the Super Nintendo too, but that plan got tossed out like last week’s leftovers.

Fast forward 28 years, and Gargoyles is making a comeback in the form of Gargoyles Remastered, thanks to the folks at Empty Clip Studios. But wait, there’s a twist! You can now toggle between the original’s charming 16-bit graphics and a new art style that’s supposedly inspired by the cartoon. However, I must say, the new look doesn’t quite capture the same magic as the original. But hey, let’s not judge a gargoyle by its wings, right?

Now, let’s talk about the goodies in store for us in this remastered version. Along with the upgraded visuals and a beautifully remastered soundtrack, Gargoyles Remastered also brings some quality of life improvements. Who doesn’t love a game that lets you instantly rewind? And widescreen support? Count me in! Oh, and don’t forget about those glorious achievements that’ll make your adventures as Goliath—our feathery hero a.k.a. protagonist—even more enjoyable.

If your nostalgia radar is buzzing like mine, you’ll be thrilled to know that Gargoyles Remastered will be priced at £12.49/$14.99 USD when it drops on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam and GOG) on October 19th. Hold on, there’s more! Limited Run Games is also blessing us with a physical release for consoles. I can already hear the excited screeches of Gargoyles fans everywhere!

So mark your calendars and prepare to spread your wings once again as Goliath and his gang fly into action on October 19th. Get ready to relive and rediscover the magic of Gargoyles in this fantastical remastered adventure!
