===Sequels===
''Altered Beast'' has received two sequels. ''Altered Beast: Guardian of the Realms'', developed by [[3d6 Games]] and published by [[THQ]], is a 2002 sequel for [[Game Boy Advance]] in the style of the original arcade game. It adds new features like power-ups and beast forms, as well as 15 levels.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2002/12/12/altered-beast-guardian-of-the-realms|title=Altered Beast: Guardian of the Realms|last=Harris|first=Craig|date=December 12, 2002|website=[[IGN]]|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161011155642/http://www.ign.com/articles/2002/12/12/altered-beast-guardian-of-the-realms|archive-date=October 11, 2016|access-date=February 13, 2020}}</ref> While the graphics are improved compared to the original game, the scrolling mechanic remains the same.<ref name=":1" /> A [[PlayStation 2]] title known as ''Jūōki: Project Altered Beast'' in Japan and ''[[Altered Beast (2005 video game)|Altered Beast]]'' in Europe was released by Sega in 2005.<ref name=":1" /> It was planned for a North American release as well, but was later cancelled.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/FEA10CE2-5C27-46BD-858C-082B344D7285.htm|title=Sega's Altered Beast Cancelled For The US|last=Cook|first=Chris|date=2004-11-01|magazine=Game Informer|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060305034700/http://www.gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/FEA10CE2-5C27-46BD-858C-082B344D7285.htm|archive-date=March 5, 2006|url-status=dead|access-date=2009-08-22}}</ref> Rather than serving as a sequel to the original game, the newer title features a more modern setting that is unconnected to the original game, with a darker and more violent tone. Uchida advised on the project, and stated, "We really couldn't steer away from the violence aspect. The American marketing side was cheering us on, so we did it as best we could." The 2005 ''Altered Beast'' received mixed reviews for its camera system and poor graphics.<ref name=":1" />
