A wealth of first-person shooters from the period’s golden era have seen remasters lately. Now comes one of the true greats: Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster.

Nightdive Studios, which has been showing everybody how to do justice to classic shooter upgrades recently with its remasters of Quake II and System Shock, is using that same KEX Engine to give just enough modernization, but not too much, to the LucasArts title that was even better than its Doom-but-it’s-Star-Wars promise.

In the notes and footage of its reveal trailer, Nightdive promises 4K/120 fps gameplay, modern gamepad support, trophies and achievements, remastered cutscenes, and, of course, blasting Stormtroopers that have markedly better aim on a monitor than they do on film. The remaster is “coming soon” to PS4/5, Xbox One/X/S, Nintendo Switch, and Steam on PC, with “a release date announcement later this year.”

By all reviews the remaster is fantastically done, just that a few note it’s a little overpriced, however I think the amount of work that has gone into this by Nightdive warrants the price if you are a true fan of the original game (or of the excellent work Nightdive are continuing to do).
