Nightdive Studios has been known to remaster and rerelease classic games across various platforms. They were responsible for remastering the first two Turok Dinosaur Hunter games for consoles and PC, as well as DOOM 64. Anyone that plays a lot of FPS games or is a big fan of shooters will know about Nightdive Studios. So what will their next retro revival project be? How about completing the Turok trilogy and then taking things to a galaxy far, far away? Sounds like a great plan.
In two new announcement trailers released during Gamescom 2023, Nightdive Studios is remastering two first-person shooter titles, one for the Turok series and one for Star Wars. The first is a remastering of Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion for all platforms. Originally released on the Nintendo 64 back in 2000, Turok 3 is the third game in the trilogy of Turok titles that released for the console, building up the lore of the series even further.
The new version of Turok 3 will receive upgraded visuals, enhanced lighting, and re-tweaked gameplay; much like the first two Turok games. Nightdive is aiming to have the game run at 120 frames-per-second and output at 4K resolution. Fans of the series will be able to complete the trilogy of remasters. No specific release date was given for Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered, but Nightdive did confirm in the trailer that the game would be coming later in 2023.
The second remaster coming from Nightdive Studios is in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games. A fully remastered version of Star Wars Dark Forces for PC and consoles, with the new title Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster. The game will also have 4K resolution and run at 120FPS, but will also come with other features for this new version. Dark Forces Remaster will have advanced 3D rendering, trophies and achievements on respective platforms, and modern gamepad support. Cutscenes for the game will also get remastered and look cleaner than what was seen in the original game. Other features for Dark Forces Remastered were promised but weren’t revealed in the trailer. The original version of Star Wars Dark Forces was released for PC in 1005, and later the first PlayStation console with extra content.
Nightdive Studios says that specific release dates for both titles will come at a later date. Currently, Steam players on PC can add Turok 3 Remastered to their wishlist now, but Dark Forces Remaster does not have a Steam page live yet. If both of these games turn out successful among their respective fan bases, Nightdive Studios will continue their hot streak of giving new life to classic games that people love to go back to and play.
