For those that don’t know, Dark Forces was a PC and PlayStation game that first made its debut back in the 90s as part of the bigger Jedi Knight series. The title was met with incredible love, so much so that there was even a sequel, making this remake the perfect opportunity to dive right in but with more modernized graphics. After all, alot has changed graphically since the 90s and a title not aging well is to be expected.
Another cool aspect about this project is that it’s being helmed by Obsidian’s Senior Environment Artist Jason Lewis (though this is not an Obsidian endeavor) in addition to a few other developers from other companies. It’s definitely a talented bunch, and his ArtStation portfolio attached to this remake is definitely an impressive addition to this hype.
