The Wolfenstein-inspired FPS Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition has been delayed on consoles from "early 2023" until "later this year". This includes the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, with the Steam and GOG (PC) release launching on 31st July 2023. Unfortunately, nothing else was mentioned about the delay.
When this classic does return, players can expect 4K presentation, remastered art and HD cutscenes, a remixed soundtrack, "unlimited frame rates", restored "never-before-seen" content, and even brand new story episodes. It's a collaborative effort between Apogee Entertainment, New Blood Interactive, and the talented team at Nightdive Studios.

You can learn more about this upcoming release in the original post below. Here's a bit about the game's story and setting:
"Command one of five elite H.U.N.T. operatives, each with their own hit points, speed and accuracy statistics, and take down a mysterious cult dead set on destroying Los Angeles in five separate campaigns featuring new episodes, expansion packs and never-before-seen content from previously-lost beta builds."

Are you looking forward to revisiting this classic when it returns later this year? Comment below.

It was more than Wolfenstien-inspired, it was originally pitched as a sequel to Wolfenstien (it even uses a modified version of the Wolfenstein engine).
This looks absurdly bad.
I sold my Switch and game collection to focus solely on gaming with my laptop and I already have the 2013 remake on it so I'm good for now. Will get this remaster of the original once it drops though.
This looks absurdly good.
Well... This game and other shooters of that era are interesting, but, I can't get into them, sadly for me. Doom (1993), Shadow Warrior/Shadow Warrior Redux, Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour... I've spent +40 minutes in one of the levels in Duke Nukem 3D... Difficulty and navigation in these games are hard and confusing for me...
@JustMonika Oh... I remember that you had various physical versions of various Japan-only censored erogê games, if I don't confuse... Well, maybe, now you'll be able to play 'em in their complete form and how they were intended to be. I just can't understand why someone would buy a censored erogê games on consoles. That's just weird and nonsensical. During PS2 era, censored erogê games received voice-overs from professional seiyûs and various bonuses(new routes, music, mini-games...), at least. But censored erogê games on modern/current platforms... They don't have any bonuses like those from before. Their existence on modern consoles makes no sense now. Creation of those console ports are just a waste of money and time, imo. Erogê games on consoles are "castrated" games. There's no sense in playing them, and even more no sense in buying them. Erogê games on consoles sucks.
Ludicrous edition eh, looks like Luda not only can fill cups like double Ds but a baddie full of lead.
@VoodooTrumpet This game takes itself seriously, you should too.
@VoodooTrumpet Wow, a game from 1994 looks old, who'd have thought??
Can't wait. Never got to play more than a few hours of RotT.
It’s been 3 years since this was announced, granted it was during COVID, but it’s taking this long for not a remake, but a remaster?
@MrCookieCrisps Nightdive have been busy with their ground-up System Shock remake, so presumably some of their remaster projects got pushed back.
Remember seeing and playing this in the local computer shop and it was ridiculous. And fun. And gory.
I'll be tempted to pick this up
One of my all time favourite FPS with a kick-ass soundtrack and easy to use level editors. Can't wait for this ^_^
I had a lot of fun playing the demo on my Steam Deck, so I’ll definitely be getting this. Plus it’s Nightdive so it should have gyro aiming. I only ever played the demo back in the ‘90s on a 486 so it will cool to finally play the full game.
I loved this game back in the day.
This missed the point of what made Wolfenstein great: Killing loads of Nazis!
This game was a gimmicky type based on the same engine. The controls are terrible and the puzzle solving is either lame or impossible due to bugs in the physics coding. After you jump in the air a few times on pink trampoline it becomes old and the weapons were not that great. Looking at the trailer, even though they say its rebuilt in a new engine, it appears they have not added any QOL upgrades and the possibly only fixed the frame rate issues it always had.
I didn’t even know it was coming. Sweet!

Play Doom, it introduces you well to the Mechanics and Features.
The Level Design itself talks to you.
Door Colors tell you that you need to search a certain Key Color.
Items and Monsters lead you through the Level, saying "go here".
Stuff you can see or hear, but not reach, spoil you saying "there is somewhere a hidden Door and Way to get here".
And use the Map
Doom is actually very comparable to Super Mario World in what it makes it great.
Duke Nukem and other have more Gimmiks, as an Inventory, Jet Pack and the Level Design is often to complex for the Engine (looking up and down is bad for those early Games).
Doom is still beloved and called one of the greatest Games for a Reason, the others not so.
@Azuris Yeah, I know. Doom is one of the most accessible and easiest 3D shooters of that era. But... I got bored of the game at the end if the 1st episode. Final fight with Cyberdemon was too hard for me. So, I used IDDQD and finished him. And when I thought that I completed the game... I realized that I just completed only 1st episode. I tried to play 2nd episode, but I quickly got bored and deleted the game.
