It’s a classic of the genre, a first-person-shooter that joined an illustrious roster of mid 90’s games that showed the saga was far from done, and it’s back. This is Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster, a game that was well ahead of its 90’s competition and the official site take a look at the classic version and this new remaster which is available now on Windows PC via Steam, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The game now has an increased degree of movement and interactivity, items and power-ups as well as 4K 120 FPS support and Trophy and Achievement support.
Decades before Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, a very different kind of hero stole the Death Star plans for the Rebel Alliance. His name was Kyle Katarn. In the Legends story of Star Wars: Dark Forces, the mercenary for hire fearlessly took on the entire Galactic Empire himself with just a blaster in his pixelated hands.
“Kyle Katarn really can do just about everything,” Nightdive Studios’ Max Waine tells StarWars.com, “and while he’s doing everything, he manages to generally stay very cool and calm. Stealing the plans for the Death Star? Yep. Defeating Boba Fett? Yep. Punching out kell dragons? Yep. He can do that. And that’s just in Dark Forces.”
Thanks to Lucasfilm Games and Nightdive Studios, a new generation of Star Wars gamers can experience Katarn’s first adventure on consoles and PC with updated high-resolution graphics, realistic lighting and atmospheric effects, a new playable level, and more in Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster.
