Nightdive Studios' remaster of cult hit shooter Star Wars: Dark Forces has been given a release date and is launching for PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Switch on 28th February next year.
Announced back in August, the Star Wars: Dark Forces remaster is being made in collaboration with Lucasfilm Games, and sees the 1995 first-person shooter - which follows mercenary Kyle Katarn as he undertakes a number of covert operations to thwart the Empire at the behest of the Rebel Alliance - getting a welcome modern-day upgrade.
Nightdive Studios - the remaster specialist behind this year's acclaimed System Shock update, among many others - is promising resolutions of up to 4K at 120fps for its enhanced Dark Forces release, although expect that to vary depending on your platform of choice.

So that's the Star Wars: Dark Forces remaster then, arriving on 28th February next year for PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Switch.
