‘Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition’ Delayed for Consoles, Still Arriving on PC Next Week
While PC gamers will be able to jump into the remastered goodness of Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition later this month, console owners will now have to wait longer to join the H.U.N.T.. Originally scheduled to arrive on July 31 with the PC version, Apogee Entertainment, New Blood Interactive and Nightdive Studios have made the decision to delay the game’s release on Playstation 4, Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch to “later this year”.
While no reason was given for the delay in the press release, according to New Blood’s Dave Oshry on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, the delay is due to “some [certification] issues (silly stuff) on consoles”. He elaborated saying that the delay shouldn’t “be more than a few weeks”, but as a result, the developers couldn’t commit to a hard release date.
A remaster of the 1994 cult classic from the minds behind Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition puts players as a member of H.U.N.T., an elite squad of special forces and investigate mysterious activity off the California coast and unravel the mystery of the Triad cult. You’ll select from one of five operatives, each with their own hit points, speed and accuracy statistics, and blast a path back to Los Angeles.
For those who can’t wait until next week to experience Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, you can still download the demo via Steam.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
