‘Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition’ Finally Comes Home to Consoles on September 29th
After the hiccup for the console release of Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, Nightdive Studios, New Blood Interactive and Apogee Entertainment have finally announced that the remaster of the cult classic FPS now has a release date of September 29 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, with both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series via backwards compatibility.
For the first time in ROTT history, players will gear up for all-out carnage on consoles and experience the trailblazing ‘90s FPS as never played before – with a controller! Players will be able to run and gun across newly added multiplayer maps, and enjoy modern enhancements like revamped 4K graphics, increased FOV, and cloud saves.
Gear up and take aim as an operative of the High-Risk United Nations Task-Force (codenamed H.U.N.T.) on a top-secret investigation off the California coast. Select from five elite soldiers armed with distinct abilities and stats, and stamp out shadowy cult activity wreaking havoc on Los Angeles.
Navigate twisty labyrinthine lairs and stage an all-out assault with iconic weaponry like dual-wielded pistols and MP-40 machine guns. Turn up the heat with face-melting drunk missiles, and rocket-jump skyward to rain down firepower from above in the world’s first FPS with verticality.
“It’s been a blast adding new features to ROTT after all these years,” said Scott Miller, founder of Apogee Entertainment and original project manager of the original version of Rise of the Triad. “We look forward to console gamers getting a chance to experience FPS history in just a few short weeks!”
Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is available now on PC via Steam and GOG.
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.
