Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster Deploys In February 2024

Nightdive Studios has announced that the Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster will launch for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC on 28 February 2024.

For those unfamiliar, Star Wars Dark Forces is a Star Wars FPS that was originally launched for MS-DOS in February 1995 and PS1 in November 1996. It has been brought to life by the team at Nightdive Studios, fully remastered through its proprietary KEX engine, allowing the game to run on modern gaming devices at up to 4K resolution at 120 frames per second. New and returning players will enjoy upgraded gameplay, high-resolution textures, enhanced lighting and rendering, and support for gamepads.

In Star Wars Dark Forces, players assume the role of Kyle Katarn, a defector of the Galactic Empire turned mercenary for hire. Katarn joins the Rebel Alliance’s covert operations division tasked with infiltrating the Galactic Empire, where he discovers the secret Dark Trooper Project. The development of this powerful new series of Imperial battle droids and power-armoured stormtroopers stands to strengthen the Empire’s grip on the galaxy unless Katarn and the Rebel Alliance intervene.
