Nightdive Studios, a leading name in video game remasters and a subsidiary of the iconic Atari, has teamed up with Lucasfilm Games to launch Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster on several platforms, including the Nintendo Switch. This release breathes new life into the classic title, leveraging Nightdive's proprietary KEX engine to deliver the game in up to 4K resolution at 120FPS on modern gaming systems.

The remaster was announced late last year and promises an enriched experience with improved gameplay mechanics, high-definition textures, superior lighting, and rendering, as well as console gamepad support, including unique features tailored for different platforms.

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster comes packed with features that enrich the gameplay experience. It includes access to the original game's development vault, showcasing behind-the-scenes content. Players will face ground combat against twenty enemy types with a arsenal of ten weapons at their disposal.
