Twenty years on, a cancelled Daredevil PS2 game is now playable

Daredevil: The Man Without Fear, originally meant to release in 2003 but never saw the light of day, is now playable for the first time.



There are plenty of games that get announced, have all the right ingredients, but still get cancelled for one reason or another. You would think that a character like Daredevil, who was receiving a film starring Ben Affleck of all people in 2003, might be a guaranteed success for a video game, but unfortunately The Man Without Fear was left on the cutting room floor. However, Hidden Palace, a videogame preservation group, has managed to release a working version of the game that you can play right now.



As Hidden Palace detailed, Daredevil: The Man Without Fear 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."

At the time, being a third-party developed game, it had to be approved by the product evaluation departments at Sony and Microsoft.
