“Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition” (ROTT), the definitive remake of the cult classic in the first-person shooter genre by Apogee Entertainment, the original developer and publisher, the crazy mind of New Blood Interactive and the gaming treasure hunter Nightdive Studio, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. As well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X
For the first time on consoles, you can cause crazy gibbs (smashing enemies)! With a controller in hand, trigger happy and experience Rise of the Triad like never before. Relive the golden age of 90s FPS gaming with modern conveniences like stunning 4K graphics, expanded field of view, cloud saving and achievements.
A terrifying threat lurks off the coast of California and the secretive Triad clan is determined to destroy Los Angeles. Take on the role of one of five agents of a high-risk United Nations task force (codenamed HUNT), each with their own unique traits, and maneuver your way through maze-like levels to find members of the secret society.
Arm yourself with a bone-crushing arsenal of devastating weapons. Unleash the fury with the iconic dual-wield pistols or keep the action hot with drunken missiles and meter-high walls of flame that leave nothing but ash in their wake. Use a well-timed rocket launch to reach unreachable secret areas in the world’s first FPS game with verticality.
Veterans will enjoy new content, including five nail-biting campaigns, fresh expansion packs, and previously unreleased narrative beta episodes designed by the original developers.
Coming soon to all platforms, take crazy action to a new level with 11-player online multiplayer matches with cross-play. Engage in classic COMM-BAT deathmatches, hunt in 10v1 Hunter mode or experience the first capture-the-flag mode implemented in a video game in Capture the Triad.
“ROTT’s revival was great fun. “Thanks to our friends at Nightdive and New Blood for making the console version possible,” said Scott Miller, founder of Apogee Entertainment and original project lead on 1995’s “Rise of the Triad.” And still offers hours of fun. For some, it’s the FPS your parents played, but the console version allows a whole new generation to join the HUNT, and I’m sure some parent-child duels are in the works!”
Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is available now on Steam and GOG for $19.99 USD, and via backwards compatibility on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well as PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
