Hold onto your lightsabers, because we've got a big one for you: Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster is warping onto the Nintendo Switch next year on February 28, 2024!

Star Wars Dark Forces: A Journey to a Galaxy... Well, You Know the Rest

This might be before some of our readers' time (don't worry, I'm only slightly having an existential crisis) but, let's take it back to 1995. You might remember the big, bulky Apple Macintosh and MS-DOS computers; well, that's what the original Star Wars Dark Forces released on. Times have changed a bit since then.

This shiny new remaster is going to drop you right back into those boots of Kyle Katarn, our brave Rebel Alliance hero. This guy's mission? Infiltrate the ever-scheming Galactic Empire and expose a dark secret that could spell bad news for our Rebel pals. Think classic, light vs. dark Star Wars showdown meets retro shooter.

What to Expect from the Star Wars Dark Forces Remaster: A Peek into the Features

Now, let's chat about what's cooking under the hood of this remaster. Nightdive Studios, the genius gang behind this reimagined classic, promise that this game will grace "modern consoles" with "up to 4K resolution at 120FPS".

But, ahem, our beloved Switch didn't make the cut for those specs. No worries, though! We've got our fingers crossed and are eagerly waiting to see just how swanky the space shootouts will look on the go.

Star Wars Dark Forces Nintendo Switch Remaster Feature List

Let's take a closer look at some of the features to expect in the Star Wars Dark Forces remaster for the Switch:

  • A First-Person Odyssey: Get ready for some epic ground combat with a juicy arsenal of ten weapons and a galaxy of twenty different foes.

  • Stellar Visuals: Bask in up to 4K 120FPS visuals if you're rolling with a PC, PlayStation 4|5, or Xbox One and Series X|S. Unfortunately, we'll have to wait to see how the game will play on the Switch, given the system limitations.

  • Next-Gen Realism: Dive into the game with advanced 3D rendering, offering jaw-dropping lighting and atmospheric effects.

  • Updated Controls for the New Age: Embrace modern gamepad support that boasts a handy weapon wheel, the beloved rumble feature, and nifty motion/gyro controls.

  • Bragging Rights: Score trophies and achievements if you're gaming on Windows PC via Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox.

Star Wars Dark Forces Release Date

Star Wars Dark Forces is set to release for the Nintendo Switch and all major consoles on February 28, 2024!
