Capcom has just released a new update for Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective that removed the Denuvo anti-tamper tech from it. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective came out on PC on June 30th, meaning that it took around six months to remove it.
Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a puzzle game made by Shu Takumi, the same person who created Ace Attorney. This HD remaster features better graphics and sound. Plus, the game comes with new gallery content.
This isn’t the first time that Capcom has removed Denuvo from one of its titles. In the past few years, the company has removed it from games like Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin and Resident Evil Village. And I know. Most of you would have preferred Resident Evil 4 Remake over Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. And… well… all hope is not lost. Given Capcom’s history, this will one day happen. And yes. Dragon’s Dogma will use Denuvo at launch.
It’s also worth noting that other publishers have also released Denuvo from some of their games. Bethesda’s Wolfenstein Youngblood and Doom Eternal no longer have it. Warner Bros has also removed it from Mortal Kombat 11. Then we have Bandai Namco who has removed it from Tekken 7 and NARUTO TO BORUTO: SHINOBI STRIKER.
Before closing, I want to mention that Capcom swapped out Denuvo with the Enigma Protector DRM. The good news is that the Enigma Protector is not as intrusive as Denuvo, which is a relief. So that’s at least something.
Stay tuned for more!
