The upcoming remaster of Rise of the Triad is now said to be coming out in early 2023 for Switch, PC, and last-gen consoles.

It was also quite innovative, especially in the early days of the genre, with its multiple character choices and destructible in-game assets.

A recent trailer gives some insight into what fans can expect next year, including 4K resolution, «ludicrous» fps, a new map, and remastered cutscenes.
