Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is a platform game developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo Switch. Once the player defeats Astaroth and his superior, Lucifer, and finishes the game on any difficulty level except Page, they can complete the Shadow versions of each stage. Rearrange the placement and spawn points of enemies and introduce additional environmental challenges as well as one more final boss fight with an even more powerful demon named Hades. The player can fight with eight different weapons, including Arthur's iconic lance, which he can throw, and a hammer that induces a shockwave when it strikes the ground. Depending on the difficulty level, Arthur may lose his armor in pieces or all at once as he takes hits from enemies. The game features four difficulty levels: Legend, the most difficult; Knight, the second-most difficult; Squire, the second-easiest difficulty; and Page, the easiest difficulty. Difficulty in a playthrough cannot be changed permanently, but players will be given an option to lower the difficulty for the remaining part of the level after several consecutive deaths. Fujiwara explained that the team adopted an "animated scroll" or a "picture book" art style because they felt that it aligned better with the aesthetics of the stages which were inspired by horror theme parks. Regarding the game's difficulty, Fujiwara added that the game was designed so that player would feel a sense of accomplishment after overcoming all the obstacles in a stage. However, unlike the first game which was known for its difficult gameplay, the team decided early in the game's development that they needed to add multiple difficulty levels to cater to players who are less skilled or experienced. Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection was officially announced at The Game Awards 2020.
