Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, a brand-new Source port of the 1995-released first-person shooter with widescreen resolution support, a classic mode, mouselook support, and revamped multiplayer, is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4|5, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam on July 31. Demo the classic FPS action on June 19th during Steam Next Fest.

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is more than a faithful recreation of the highly influential, genre-defining shooter. Thanks to Nightdive Studios’ proprietary KEX engine, it is the original shooter in its true form, built with the original source code. Experience a perfect mix of past and present with 60+ frames-per-second gameplay, classic pixelated artwork upscaled to 4K resolution, increased field-of-view, cloud saves, achievements, and more.

Join the H.U.N.T., an elite squad of special forces and investigate mysterious activity off the California coast and unravel the mystery of the Triad cult. Select from five operatives, each with their own hit points, speed and accuracy statistics, and blast a path back to Los Angeles. Play through five separate campaigns including new episodes, expansion packs and never-before-seen Rise of the Triad content from previously-lost beta builds.

Splatter blood and gibs (LUDICROUS GIBS!) across the island with over-the-top weaponry like dual-wield pistols (the first dual-wield in video game history), heat-seeker missiles, and earth-shaking Firebombs. Take the H.U.N.T. online without the hassle of dial-up internet with multiplayer COMM-BAT supporting up to 11 players. Go one-versus-ten in Hunter mode, and encounter the first ever capture-the-flag mode in FPS history in “Capture the Triad” mode. Experience the FPS that revolutionized 1994 by adding verticality.

Recreate any Rise of the Triad experience with multiple iterations of the classic original soundscape, or rock out to the heavy metal 2013 reboot soundtrack. Inject the perfect dose of fast-paced FPS madness into the mix with an all-new level editor, and get the upper hand on enemies with the inclusion of ROTT’s original cheat codes (if you can remember them!).

“Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is a blast to the past in the best way possible. I would know, I was there!” says Scott Miller, founder of Apogee Entertainment and original project manager of Rise of the Triad. “It was a pivotal title that pushed the FPS genre forward, and thanks to the KEX engine from Nightdive, the original version lives on for another generation to experience a piece of FPS history.”

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition releases Monday, July 31, 2023, on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam on PC for $19.99 USD.
