Classic Shooter Star Wars Dark Forces Gets Remastered by Nightdive Studios

Retro gamers can sleep well today knowing that Star Wars: Dark Forces, a classic shooter released in 1995, will get a remaster from the System Shock remake developer Nightdive Studios.

Nightdive is working with Lucasfilm Games and will allow you to play the game with a 4K resolution at 120 FPS. It features advanced 3D rendering, modern gamepad support, reworked cutscenes,
trophies, achievements, and more.

Dark Forces is evidently beloved by players as just last year a fan released their own remastered version of the shooter, which included a mod loader, high resolution and widescreen support, GPU renderer with perspective correct pitch, and more.

There was also an Unreal Engine 4 remake developed by Obsidian’s Senior Environment Artist Jason Lewis as well as a VR version.

In addition to the Star Wars game, Nightdive is remastering Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion, a 2000 title by Acclaim Studios. You can wishlist it on Steam.
