Grim Fandango resurrected.

Grim Fandango Remastered marks the return of gaming's most recognisable, and notoriously unavailable, cult classic - now on Windows, Mac, and Linux. This upcoming release got everybody so excited, Tim Schafer even prepared a special trailer all about how you can pre-order Grim Fandango Remastered (and why that’s a fine idea) right now, exclusively on GOG.com for the first week!

Grim Fandango is by far the single most wishlisted game by the GOG.com community with an overwhelming 45,000 votes. It's a unique blend of Mexican folklore with film noir stylings, and has been critically praised for its art direction, writing, and memorable characters.

Grim Fandango Remastered refreshes, refines, and remasters the award winning title and Tim Schafer's last hurrah as LucasArts' adventure-gaming-extraordinaire. The remaster modernizes the game's presentation and gameplay with completely repainted textures, widescreen support, and quite possibly best of all: modern controls. You can now say goodbye to unwieldy tank controls, a staple of the early 3D era, and enjoy a fully point-and-click interface - but only if you want! The option to play the game as originally envisioned is always there.


Have you missed Grim Fandango the first time around? Now's your chance to experience gaming history like never before, or if you have played it in its heyday - you're probably long overdue for another go anyway. You can pre-order Grim Fandango Remastered right now on GOG.com!
The pre-order will last until Tuesday, January 27, when the game is expected to launch on GOG.com.


It took a lot to bring this classic back to life. If you’d like to learn more about the remaster, Double Fine and 2 Player Productions have just released the newest episode of The Making of Grim Fandango Remastered - a recommended watch.

deloctyte: So... To those of us who pre-ordered the thing for fifteen bucks, will we get our measly dollar back somehow? :D
Good question. I only just noticed now that the price seems to have dropped a dollar since I pre-ordered. GOG? Would you care to explain and comment, please?

Djungelurban: Well, then piracy is a solid option two...

zeffyr: The piracy is not a solution. Besides, the original GF game is still being sold in stores. I got mine original copy for like 3$.
Unused? Where and when did you buy it? :)

It was widely available in Empiks, Polish most popular stores with books/music/games. It was sold for 10 PLN, which is around 3$ and yes, it was sealed copy :-) Now I see it isn't available anymore, but they had many copies few months ago, when I grabbed it. It's finally sold out then ;-)

Siegor: I've seen so many people talk fondly about this game and its cult status. Never played it back then but I might just get it to see what all the fuss is about.
You really should - especially if you are into film noir stuff!

Apparently, you can ask for your dollar back.

This is my 'taking the day off' email I sent to work this morning for Grim Fandango's release next week:

Just a heads up,
next Tuesday, January 27th I plan on being unavailable, for the most part, until the evening. I have a dear friend that’s practically returning from the dead I intend to spend the day with.

MarkoH01: I am very glad to read that German is included too but will it be a new dub or the one used in the original game?

JudasIscariot: AFAIK, the original voices should still be there. I think the only audio that's getting an update would be the music :)
That sounds great to me! :D
