Surprised this isn't posted yet.

No big updates, just widescreen support and maybe some compatibility fixes.

Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1710170/Blade_of_Darkness/

GOG page: TBD?

I'm excited.
Yeah just saw it recently, kinda sneaky release, I thought it had licensing issues? So now can they bring the old version back on GOG?

Old version dead. Copyrights to thank for that. There is hope for the new version of the game, because it is done from SNEG (guys who already released here the Witch-haven titles recently).
Yeah would definitely get the remaster but I was hoping GOG would preserve the original edition of the game here, or include it with the remaster like many of the other remastered games here.

Sometimes remasters changes more than we like, and sometimes the new remaster is not backwards compatible with older OS/PCs anymore, so we can't use it on older systems like legacy Windows 98 PCs.
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one. Will buy to support the developers.

Good. Let's move into this century!
I am worried because anti-aliasing is very bad in the demo,i hope that the release version has better anti-aliasing.

They said this:

We are happy to bring Blade of Darkness back to life, an enduring classic that, at the time of its release, inspired many games in the action-adventure genre through its approach to combat. With this edition we've re-engineered the game to work on modern PC hardware, added widescreen support up to 4K resolution, introduced new display settings, and improved its overall stability. At the same time, the gameplay, content, and the story are untouched — featuring all the game’s quirks and charm.

Looks like this is an instant buy from me.... super excited now!
Fortunately game installer is about 1,67 GB, not 468 MB as described.
