The beloved first-person shooter game Star Wars: Dark Forces by LucasArts was initially published in 1995. Arriving just under 30 years later, this remaster is being worked on by Nightdive Studios, the video game restoration expert behind the highly acclaimed remasters of Quake and Turok as well as the System Shock remake.
On contemporary gaming platforms, Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster can operate at up to 4K resolution and 120 frames per second (not on the Switch version). High-resolution textures, improved lighting and rendering, "upgraded gameplay," and compatibility with console gamepads with platform-specific capabilities are also mentioned.
You take on the role of Kyle Katarn in Star Wars: Dark Forces, an ex-Emperor who is now a hired mercenary. After Katarn enlists in the Rebel Alliance, he sneaks inside the Empire and discovers the Dark Trooper Project. In 2020, a potent new line of Imperial battle droids and power-armoured stormtroopers appeared in The Mandalorian television series.
