Star Wars: Darkish Forces Remaster, the subsequent massive overhaul from Nightdive Studios, is ready to reach on Steam and consoles on February 28, 2024.
Darkish Forces tells the story of Kyle Katarn, a former member of the Imperial Military who quits the crew and takes up the mercenary life after discovering that his dad and mom had been murdered by—gasp!—the Empire. Naturally, he finds work with the Insurgent Alliance, which contracts him to uncover the reality of one thing referred to as the Darkish Trooper Mission, after which put a cease to it. A lot taking pictures is concerned.
To be trustworthy, Darkish Forces by no means actually lit my saber, though I believe that is as a result of I am not a lot of a Star Wars fan. It was a very talked-about shooter again within the day, although, and really well-received by critics: It got here out in 1995 and I am fairly positive pcgamer.com did not exist then, however in accordance with Mobygames we gave it a 92% rating in our journal assessment.
The truth that the remaster is coming from Nightdive additionally units my expectations excessive. The Blade Runner remaster from 2022 was an enormous whiff, sure, however the newer System Shock is a masterful instance of how one can modernize a sport with out dropping any of the qualities that made it nice. The Star Wars: Darkish Forces remaster will help 4K resolutions with “superior 3D rendering” results, up to date controller help together with a brand new weapon wheel, rumble results, and movement controls, and Steam achievements.
Star Wars: Darkish Forces Remaster is out there for wishlisting now on Steam, which for the second nonetheless says that it is “coming quickly.” And sure, so does the trailer up above—that is as a result of it is the reveal trailer from when the remaster was first introduced. However barring any delays, February 28 is the day.
