Console versions of Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition coming September 29
Nightdive Studios, New Blood Interactive, and Apogee Entertainment have announced that the delayed console versions of Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition will be arriving on September 29 to PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.
Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition was released on July 31, 2023 on PC. Originally, the console versions were going to launch simultaneously with the PC. However, they were abruptly delayed about a week before the expected launch.
The PC version packs in the original campaign, all the expansions, a newly created campaign, and a tonne of comfort features to make it the best version of the legendary 1995 FPS.
If there’s any difference between the PC and console versions, the press release doesn’t really say. In particular, I’m wondering if the map maker and fanmade Return of the Triad campaigns are going to make it in.
I gave high marks to the PC version of Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition. As a shooter, it’s a little bit of a tough sell in the modern market. It does a lot to hide that it’s built on a beefed-up Wolfenstein 3D engine, but still suffers from a lot of restrictions. However, the development team clearly had a fun time on the project, and that shines through. Also, Nightdive’s efforts at porting the game to the KEX Engine are impressive and comprehensive, as always.
Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is currently available on PC. It will be released on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch on September 29, 2023.
