An unreleased Daredevil PlayStation 2 game has been released online. An executable and playable version of Daredevil: The Man Without Fear was posted on the Hidden Palace database website. According to the site, the game was initially in development for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC, but was canceled because it failed to get approval from Marvel. Now, players can experience a modified playable prototype of the game on an emulator or on a PlayStation 2 if possible, by downloading it from the site. The game was reportedly meant to feature an original story where players fought rival gangs in the series after the death of Kingpin. A gameplay video showing off the prototype was also released.
The game’s details via the website:
- Late prototype.
- Was a third-person beat ‘em up action game based on the Frank Miller Marvel superhero comic of the same name developed by 5,000 Ft. studios. The game was intended to be published by Encore Inc. and was in development for the Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox, and PC. The game was canceled due to Marvel’s ultimate refusal to approve the game due to the various changes that were made due to Sony’s recommendations that steered far from the original concept the developer had sold to the licensor.
