Nightdive Announces ‘PO’ed: Definitive Edition’ for PC, Consoles [Trailer]

Published

What might have seemed like an April Fools’ joke has turned out to be the real deal for Nightdive Studios, who have announced a Definitive Edition remaster of Any Channel’s 1995 first-person shooter, PO’ed. No release date has been announced for the remaster, which will arrive for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.

Originally released for the 3DO, PO’ed was eventually ported to the PlayStation in 1996. One of the many “Doom clones” that popped up in the wake of id Software’s success, PO’ed casts you as Ox, the cook of the military starship U.S.S. Pompous. The ship has been captured by aliens, which have killed all of the crew. You’re a little mad about this, so you grab your frying pan and jetpack to clean house against monsters ranging from rock-throwing ogres, plasma-shooting robots to walking butts.

As per the usual with Nightdive and their remasters, PO’ed: Definitive Edition will feature updated 4K visuals with antialiasing, increased framerate and redefined controls. There will be a new difficulty mode added for hardcore players, as well as quality-of-life updates, including fixes for bugs that were present in the original version. You can, however, toggle off these fixes, if you so desire.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
