Twitter user “Ekim_Gaf” known to leak BC titles, and Games with Gold a few days earlier than the official announcement by Microsoft has said two new titles for backward compatibility are due to arrive “probably tomorrow”. The games are Shadows of the Damned & Rocket Knight. Be sure to follow us on Twitter and stay up to date with our BC list here.
Here’s a bit of information about each game:
“Shadows of the Damned is an action video game developed by Grasshopper Manufacture and published by Electronic Arts for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles. The game follows the story of Garcia Hotspur, a Mexican demon hunter who goes to the City of the Damned to battle its evils in order to save his true love. The game is the result of collaboration between Goichi Suda and Shinji Mikami, and combined the styles of the two designers, namely the “punk rock” edge of the former and the “psychological action thriller” of the latter”
“Rocket Knight is a 2.5D platforming video game developed by Climax Studios and published by Konami for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows. The game was released on May 12, 2010 on all platforms, with the exception of the PlayStation 3 release in North America, which was released on May 18, 2010. It wasn’t released in Europe for Microsoft Windows.
Rocket Knight is a revival of the Sparkster series, which first began with Rocket Knight Adventures. The game is a sequel to the Sega Genesis game Sparkster: Rocket Knight Adventures 2, and not a remake of Rocket Knight Adventures.”
Next BC titles will be Shadows of the Damned and Rocket Knight. Don't know when exactly but probably tomorrow. :)
