Nightdive Studios previously released Blood: Fresh Supply for PC in 2019, offering an enhanced version of the original. Refreshed Supply is a remaster with 4K resolution support, unlocked frame rates (with consoles running at up to 120 FPS), split-screen, online co-op for up to eight players, the Vault, and more.

Alongside the original campaign, it includes the add-ons, Plasma Pak and Cryptic Passage. There’s also a new scenario, Marrow, with a second, Death Wish, arriving post-release, so stay tuned for more details.

Before Blood: Refreshed Supply, Nightdive has a remaster of Outlaws going live on November 20th. Based on the 1997 first-person shooter by LucasArts, Outlaws + Handful of Missions: Remaster will be available for all platforms (aside from Switch 2).

The remaster wizards at Night Dive Studios are at it again as they plan to remaster Shadow Man for 2021. The game is something of a cult classic that originally released in 1999 for the Nintendo 64, PlayStation and PC, then eventually the Dreamcast. It follows Michael LeRoi who has taken on the role of the Shadow Man, a long line of voodoo warriors tasked with protecting our world from the world of the dead. We’ve seen some footage of the game with its new facelift, and now we got some side-by-side comparison.

Night Dive released several screenshots showing something from the original title and then roughly the same shot from the upcoming remaster. There is obviously only so much that one can do with what’s there, but there’s definitely been a good deal of work put into this release. You can check them all out below.

Shadow Man Remastered is set to launch in 2021 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. The original, unaltered release is also available on PC via both GOG and Steam.

When it comes to the old school fast-paced shooters, a lot comes to mind. Primarily DOOM, of course, but there’s also Wolfenstein, which was the father of this brand of shooters, before becoming a narrative-driven meditation on the effects of fascism. A lesser known title was Shadow Warrior, that also saw a reboot of its own recently. One game you may not think of that often, though, is Blood. It, unlike the other titles, kind of got lost to time a bit. Now, though, thanks to developer Night Dive Studios, a remaster of the original Blood is out now, titled Blood: Fresh Supply.

At a glance, Blood may look like a rip-off of DOOM, and while it may share a lot of similarities, like a lot of FPS titles from that era, it differentiates itself with a more visceral tone and inventive weapons. As you can see from the announce trailer below, the game features buckets of gore, loud screams as your enemies die, and oddball weapons like a pitchfork and a voodoo doll. The game was also noted to be one of the hardest of the genre at the time for the masses of enemies it threw at you, coupled with high damage rates.

Blood: Fresh Supply is available now for PC, you can get it via Steam or GOG. It also includes the game’s two expansion packs, Plasma Pak and Cryptic Passage.

Night Dive Studios is moving ahead with plans for System Shock Remastered, releasing a teaser video on Facebook with the date “6.29.16” which translates to June 29th.

Unlike System Shock: Enhanced Edition which released on Steam last year, System Shock Remastered will be a remake of the original from the ground up. No details have been provided on changes but Night Dive will likely look to preserve the spirit of the original, having translated it to so well into a new era with the Enhanced Edition.

System Shock Remastered isn’t the only major title coming in the series. Night Dive is also working with Warren Spector, who worked on the original along with FPS/RPG hybrids like Deus Ex, to develop System Shock 3. How far off that is remains to be seen but there’s plenty to look forward to for fans of the franchise.

What are your thoughts on the System Shock Remastered? Let us know in the comments below.

In 2015, the classic N64 dinosaur action games Turok and Turok 2 were remastered and brought over to PC via a Steam release by Night Dive Studios, the folks who seem to have made an art form of remastering classic shooters for modern platforms (they are currently working on a System Shock remaster). And now, today, Night Dive Studios confirmed plans to bring Turok and Turok 2 Remastered to Xbox One.

As of right now, the Xbox One version is all that they can confirm- a fan pointedly asked them about a potential Xbox version, but Night Dive had nothing to say. “We’re evaluating other platforms but can’t confirm at this time,” their response reads. Which is a bit of a shame, but baby steps, I guess.

Turok and Turok 2 were originally released exclusively on the Nintendo 64- while many will tell you that the games did not age all that well, the remasters, at least, seem to have polished them enough that they hold up well. You can check out the trailer for the remasters below for yourself.

Fresh off of making System Shock: Enhanced Edition, Night Dive Studios has announced that it will be remaking the first game in the series and that conversations are currently on-going for a third System Shock.

CEO Stephen Kick recently revealed to Fast Company that Night Dive had “acquired the full rights to the franchise” and is currently working with concept artist Robert Waters to bring his designs to the remake.

“Seeing the difference between his artistic abilities back then compared to now, and his ability to reinterpret those ideas, its just been really exciting for us.”

Head of business development Larry Kuperman also added that with regards to System Shock 3, a third party might be roped in. “To really do another game in that series is going to take resources and time and commitment that we don’t have, and it’s really not our core business.”
