Killing Time: Resurrected launches on Switch this month

We’ve been waiting to hear about a release date for Killing Time: Resurrected, but it looks like the game isn’t very far off. The game popped up on the eShop with a new listing, which pins it down for October 17, 2024.

Killing Time: Resurrected, which was announced for Switch in June, brings back the classic first-person shooter. Nightdive reworked the visuals for this edition.

Below is an official overview:

Nightdive Studios and Ziggurat Interactive have teamed up to bring back this sophisticated shooter laced with gallows humor and visual violence to bestow mayhem to all! Puzzle solving and strategic thinking are placed at a premium. The visceral violence is complemented by paranormal graphics and a super(natural) storyline.

Set in the early 1930s, Killing Time: Resurrected casts you as a student, studying the cryptic world of Egyptology, who finds themselves trapped in the estate of wealthy heiress Tess Conway. A ritual to bestow eternal life conducted by Ms. Conway backfires and her high-society friends vanish without a trace. It’s up to you to find and destroy the mystical Egyptian Water-Clock to undo its curse and face a legion of super(natural) horrors.

The remastered edition of Killing Time: Resurrected features toggleable high-resolution character artwork/sprites from the original 3DO and PC versions of the game, upscaled environmental texturing, smoother gameplay, more responsive controls, and expanded control and key-bind settings.
