Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster
Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster will use Nightdive Studio’s proprietary KEX engine, support up to 4K resolution at 120FPS, feature modern gamepad support, remastered cutscenes, and add trophies and achievements to the original game experience. Players assume the role of Kyle Katarn, a mercenary hired by the Rebel Alliance to discover and destroy the Galactic Empire’s Dark Trooper project, a clandestine military operation created to develop Force-sensitive stormtroopers and battle droids. Star Wars: Dark Forces features several memorable locations from the original trilogy, including the interior of a Star Destroyer and Jabba the Hutt’s desert yacht, as well as new locations unique to the game. Star Wars: Dark Forces has enjoyed a sizable cult following in the decades since its original release, having been added to the Steam storefront back in 2009 and even being partially canonized in official Star Wars lore with the introduction of the Dark Troopers in the second season of The Mandalorian.
