SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – May 5, 2023 – Shadowman, the best-selling fan favourite comic series with more than 5 million copies sold, reawakens to explore haunting secrets and voodoo mysticism in Shadowman: Darque Legacy. The all new action-horror game from developer and publisher Blowfish Studios in partnership with renowned comic publisher Valiant Entertainment and their parent company DMG Entertainment will emerge from the darkness on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, as well as PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.
As a flagship title for Valiant, the adventures of Jack Boniface and other Shadowmen against the forces of the Deadside have entertained comic readers and gamers alike for decades. First published in 1992, the franchise has garnered such acclaim that it even boasts an officially declared “Shadowman Day” since Jan. 17, 1993.
As a conspiracy threatens to overrun the realm of the living, Shadowman must contend with horrifying inhuman entities with challenging melee combat. Follow a dark path from the land of the living to the hellish realm of the Deadside as you cross the veil between both. Embody the hero of the dark to traverse the necromantic divide, overcome dastardly obstacles, and silence the terrifying threats lurking within.
“It’s been an honour to breathe new life into such an iconic IP, wth Shadowman’s first venture into gaming since the PlayStation 2 era,” said Clinton McCleary, Game Director, Blowfish Studios. “We’re looking forward to ushering fans into the horrifying, punishing, but rewarding experience we’ve crafted. Stepping into the role of Shadowman, players will encounter a compelling cast of heroes and villains while taking their scythe to the most wretched denizens of the Deadside.”
“It is a testament to the evergreen popularity of this franchise that we’re able to tell a brand-new, out-of-continuity Shadowman story, nearly thirty years after he was first introduced to the world,” said Russell Brown, President, Consumer Products, Valiant Entertainment. “In Shadowman: Darque Legacy, our friends at Blowfish Studios have been working with our team at Valiant to write the story and are creating a unique, carefully crafted, spine-chilling Shadowman experience. We can’t wait for Shadowman fans to jump into this action-horror adventure and for gamer fans to get introduced to Shadowman and the Valiant Universe.”
Shadowman: Darque Legacy will release in 2024 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, as well as PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. For more information about the Shadowman series and its upcoming game, please visit the official website and follow Blowfish Studios on Twitter.

SUB-PAGE (https://valiantentertainment.com/2022/08/24/bedrock-collectibles-partners-with-valiant-entertainment-to-create-limited-edition-premium-statues/) BEDROCK COLLECTIBLES PARTNERS WITH VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT TO CREATE LIMITED EDITION PREMIUM STATUES | Valiant Entertainment
August 24, 2022 – Bedrock Collectibles is excited to announce it has signed a multi-year, worldwide licensing deal with Valiant Entertainment to create high-end collectible statues for fan favorite characters across the Valiant Universe. Every statue will be produced in limited-edition quantities and will be individually numbered to enhance collectibility.
To kick off the premium statue line, the team is proud to reveal the first project is none other than the nanite-infused super soldier himself, BLOODSHOT! Bedrock Collectibles’ BLOODSHOT statue will be 1/4 scale, roughly 20″ tall, sculpted in highly detailed polystone resin. A BLOODSHOT statue would not be complete without a slew of weaponry. That is why the statue comes with multiple switch out arms and weapons, including dual handguns, one assault rifle, and a submachine gun with alternative poses.
As part of Bedrock Collectibles’ commitment to high-end quality, the 1/4 scale BLOODSHOT statue was sculpted by world renowned 3D artist Caleb Nefzen! Every detail from the skin textures to the facial features to the tactical pouches and gear was sculpted in high fidelity.
“Valiant Entertainment has built a rich history of storytelling and character development. We feel our brand of premium, master painted statues is an art form that strengthens the connection long time fans have with the characters they love,” said Shawn Karawaju, Co-Founder & CEO at Bedrock Collectibles. “Our goal is to bring together iconic Valiant characters as well as new fan favorites and put them, quite literally, on a pedestal for all fans to admire and display proudly in their collections.”
The Year of Valiant is in full swing with this latest super hero team up, giving Valiant fans new ways to show their love and appreciation for their favorite characters. More announcements will be made in the coming months for future characters and even new product lines.
See the 1/4 scale Bloodshot in person for an exclusive first look at Fan Expo Canada 2022 in Toronto, Ontario from August 25-28th at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and don’t forget to preorder the first Mature Reader series in the character’s history with BLOODSHOT UNLEASHED #1!

Your Diagnosis

Before revealing the machine’s verdict, predict the BS score for each signal. Higher = more BS (more fluff, less verifiable substance). Drag each slider, then submit to compare your judgment against the engine.

Information Density 0 / 30
Read the Narrative & headings: do hard facts (prices, dates, numbers) outweigh fluff power-words?
Semantic Coherence 0 / 20
Compare the homepage promise against the sub-page reality. Do they hold the same line?

Your predicted BS score 0 / 100
💡 Stuck? Reveal the heuristic lens — how the deterministic page-auditor reads each signal (no AI, pure pattern rules)

These are the structural rules a local, deterministic auditor applies — the same lens you can use to judge each signal. They describe what to look for, not this company’s result.

Information Density

Classify each sentence as substantive or hollow. Grounding markers — numbers, currencies, dates, technical units, named entities — outweigh marketing adjectives. When fluff sits right next to hard evidence, the fluff is forgiven.

Semantic Alignment

Pull the main entities out of the H1, then check whether they actually recur through the body. A page that announces one thing and then talks about another drifts. Headings with no real sentences underneath read as pseudo-substance.

Trust & Proof

Count trust words (review, testimonial, rating, verified) against real outbound proof links (Google, Trustpilot, Clutch, G2, Yelp). Lots of trust language with zero verification links is trust theatre. Unlinked logo galleries count against it.

Commodity Fingerprint

Look at how much sentence length varies. Natural writing varies its rhythm; templated or mass-produced copy is statistically uniform. Very low variation reads as commodity content — unless unique named entities break the pattern.

Identity & Authority

Inspect the JSON-LD. Is there an Organization or Person schema, and does it carry sameAs links to real external profiles (LinkedIn, socials)? Missing schema or no identity declaration signals an anonymous entity.

Want to apply this lens yourself? The free BS Indicator Chrome extension runs these heuristic checks live on any page. Bear in mind it is a single-page, deterministic tool — it relies only on pattern rules for the page in front of it and does not perform the cross-page semantic correlation this audit uses, so its readout is a starting lens, not the full verdict.

Refresh the homepage H1 news cycle immediately to include 2025-2026 activities and remove the ‘upcoming 2024’ release claims. Implement Organization and Person schema to technically validate the brand’s relationship with DMG Entertainment and its leadership. Consolidate the homepage heading structure to a single H1 for the primary brand signal and use H2-H3 for news items to improve technical credibility. Update project status on sub-pages to include ‘Now Available’ or ‘Live’ links to partner sites like Blowfish Studios or Green Ronin.

The site aligns perfectly with the Arts, Culture & Entertainment sector, focusing on comic book publishing and multi-platform intellectual property licensing. The content specifically details partnerships in gaming, tabletop RPGs, and high-end collectibles, confirming its identity as a character-based entertainment holder.

“The score of 37 is driven primarily by Identity and Authority gaps and Information Density issues. While the site avoids the highest BS tiers by providing concrete names, prices, and partner entities, the extreme temporal staleness (3-year-old 'latest' news) and technical failures (multiple H1s, no schema) indicate a significant distance between the claim of a leading entertainment company and the proven reality of its digital maintenance.”
