3D Realms Announces Remaster of ‘Rise of The Triad’, Throwback Shooter ‘Hell Hunt’ And ‘Ion Fury’ Expansion
Much like a lot of developers this year, 3D Realms has taken their reveals online, and if you’re a sucker for first-person shooters, the Realms Deep showcase has you covered. Rather than list off individual games separately (that would take forever), here’s a rundown of what the first couple of days has produced.
Kicking things off is indie dev T19 Games, which has announced Hell Hunt, a retro FPS inspired by shooters like Quake and Blood. The game has its origins on itch.io (where you can play the demo), and has a Steam listing for your wishlisting needs. Hell Hunt tells the story of a Demon Hunter entering hell for revenge, and features throwback elements such as keycards, secret areas and no health regeneration, but also borrows from Max Payne in the use of Bullet Time.
For Ion Fury fans, you can expect more from Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison in the near future. 3D Realms, 1C Entertainment, and developer Voidpoint have announced that the game will be receiving an expansion pack due out in 2021.
And in an “out of nowhere” move, 3D Realms and developers Destructive Creations and Apogee Software have announced Rise of the Triad Remastered for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC. As to which PlayStation and Xbox consoles they’re referring to, that wasn’t made clear. What is clear is that this isn’t the 2013 remake, and much like what Nightdive Studios has been doing with older 90s shooters, ROTT is getting a facelift.
The game is a brand-new Source port of the 1995-released first-person shooter with widescreen resolution support, a classic mode, mouselook support, and revamped multiplayer. You can also expect this one in 2021.
Physical media fanatics can rejoice when it comes to The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode’s upcoming narrative horror game Still Wakes the Deep. Alongside the digital version of the game that’s set to launch on June 18 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, PlayStation owners will also be able to snag the physical version of Still Wakes the Deep on the same day.
Described as a welcome update for console players “whose greatest fear is the death of physical media,” the Still Wakes the Deep physical edition will be available from online and retail stores in North America and Europe. No word on if the Xbox Series will be getting the same treatment.
Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be any additional goodies with the physical disc. But, given that this guarantees you’ll have a copy of Still Wakes the Deep that you can pop into your console and play without the need to download it again, that’s a small price to pay.
Still Wakes the Deep takes place in 1975, where disaster has struck the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland. You are one of the oil rig workers on the Beira D rig, fighting for his life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. And something has snuck on board, leaving you to not only restore function to the rig, but also deal with the unknowable horror.
And keep an eye out for the upcoming mini documentary on Still Wakes the Deep, which is scheduled to arrive around April 30th.
