The studio, which, for example, also revamped the first Shadow Man on the KEX Engine, is bringing a 1995 classic to the mod audience on all relevant platforms.

Here’s the game’s overview:  Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition takes players back to the era when shooters were elegant in their simplicity and filled with balls-to-the-wall ferocious action. Brought into the modern era courtesy of Nightdive’s famous KEX Engine, the Ludicrous Edition features 4K visuals, increased field-of-vision, 60 frames-per-second of bullets, explosions, an enchanted baseball bat, cloud saves, achievements, multiplayer support, and much more!

In Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, players gear up with a five-person task force known as the H.U.N.T. (High-Risk United Nations Taskforce) to infiltrate a mysterious (and exceedingly dangerous) island full of maniacal cultists. With updated HUD and UI elements, players can enjoy the classic campaign *plus* restored cut content and a new, original story episode in the Rise of the Triad universe. Once they’ve blasted their way through the single-player campaign, players can grab a few pals and engage in some old-school multiplayer COMMbatt deathmatch with multiple modes!

The game has five playable characters, guns, rocket launchers, bats, a level editor with Steam Workshop support, and multiple multiplayer modes—including the first ever capture the flag mode. A classic for modern hardware—4K resolution at 60 frames per second, increased field of view, updated heads-up display and user interface, original sprites and texture, modern resolutions, achievements, cloud saves, and more. A thrilling story that screams the 90s at the top of its lungs, all original Rise of the Triad episodes and expansion packs plus a new episode created by New Blood, Nightdive, and Apogee Software veterans, the ability to play with 1995 or 2013 soundtracks and jukebox, all with level after level of explosive single-player action.”

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition will be released on July 31 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. A demo will also appear on Steam on June 19.
