A
tweet from
3D Realms announces
Rise of the Triad Remastered, a first-person
shooter remake coming next year to PC and consoles. The original ROTT was built
on an enhanced version of the Wolfenstein 3D engine and released by Apogee in
1995. Designed by Tom Hall, this offered incredibly imaginative gameplay and
some forward-thinking features including class-based characters, jump-pads, NPCs
that feigned death, power-ups, ludicrous gibs, destructible objects, achievement
rewards, and more. A
Remastered Reveal Trailer (NSFW) shows this is in the works at Slipgate
Ironworks as a brand-new port of the source code, which was publicly released
back in 2002. Here's word from Frederik
Schreiber on the enhancements in the new version:
We're brining back Rise
of the Triad for Switch, Xbox, PlayStation, and PC with a brand-new source port.
Widescreen support, mouselook, revamped multiplayer. It's a really cool
collaboration between us here and 3D Realms, Destructive Creations, and Apogee
Software. It's going to come next
year.
