Nightdive Studios’ Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster Launches February

Night diving studios is the current gold standard for remastering classic games, and the developer’s modern brilliance on Star Wars: Dark Forces finally has a release date. Now, the mid-90s FPS will launch on February 28, 2024.

Coming to a console/PC near you

While the Steam Page as the game does not yet indicate the release date, this was confirmed on the Nightdive Studios Twitter account. In addition to PC, the remaster will grace consoles, with ports for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.

However, those still using previous generation systems are in luck, as Dark Forces will also be coming to PS4 and Xbox One.

The original was developed and published by LucasArts, a company that not only handled gaming adaptations of the Star Wars franchise, but was also a staple of early PC gaming.

The remaster will come with all the amenities of a modern release. For example, you will be able to experience the 90s sci-fi shooter with 4K 120FPS visuals with modern controller support, advanced lighting effects and much more, all thanks to its development in the Nightdive KEX engine.

In Dark Forces, players take on the role of Kyle Katarn, who has appeared in numerous Star Wars video games and novels, even having his own action figure.

Many of us are now very familiar with the quality of work provided by Night diving studios‘ remasters. The recent reimagining of the cult classic System Shock and modification of Quake 2 shows that the team has what it takes to bring retro gaming back into the spotlight,
