Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster getting Switch physical release

A physical release for Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster is in the works for Switch, Limited Run Games just announced.

There’ll be three different versions. Along with a standard copy, Limited Run will offer a Premium Edition and Master Edition. The Premium Edition contains a steelbook, premium art cards, and an original book of retrospective essays. The Master Edition has all of this plus a Moldy Crow paperweight, a thermal detonator stress ball, and a Death Star acrylic lamp.

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster previously came to Switch earlier in the year. However, that was only a digital launch.

Below is an overview of the game:

Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster has been brought to life by the team at Nightdive Studios, fully remastered through its proprietary KEX engine. New and returning players will enjoy Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster’s upgraded gameplay, high-resolution textures, enhanced lighting and rendering, and support for gamepads.

The original 1995 Star Wars: Dark Forces raised the bar for FPS games, offering players a significant degree of movement and interactivity, a large selection of items and power-ups, and engaging environments.

In the first Star Wars FPS video game, players assume the role of Kyle Katarn, a defector of the Galactic Empire turned mercenary for hire. Katarn joins the Rebel Alliance’s covert operations division tasked with infiltrating the Galactic Empire, where he discovers the secret Dark Trooper Project. The development of this powerful new series of Imperial battle droids and power-armored stormtroopers stands to strengthen the Empire’s grip on the galaxy unless Katarn and the Rebel Alliance intervene.
