News: Relive a first person shooter from the 1990s with modern upgrades including 4K graphics and achievements.

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. You can also play it via backward compatibility on Xbox Seres X|S and PlayStation 5. With this “Ludicrous Edition” you will be able to experience Rise of the Triad like never before. You can relive the ‘90s FPS golden age with crisp 4K graphics, increased FOV, cloud saves, and achievements.

Rise of the Triad is about a sinister threat that looms off the California coast. The clandestine Triad clan is dead-set on destroying Los Angeles. Suit up as one of five High-Risk United Nations Task-Force operatives (codenamed H.U.N.T.), each with their own distinct attributes, and pursue clandestine cult members while zig-zagging through labyrinthine levels.

Lock and load with a skull-crushing arsenal of devastating weaponry. Unload two fist-fulls of fury with the iconic dual-wield pistols, or get hot and heavy with drunk missiles and towering walls of flame leaving nothing but ash in its wake. Blast into out-of-reach secret areas with a well-timed rocket jump.

Veteran operatives will enjoy new content, including five heart-pounding campaigns, fresh expansion packs, and never-before-seen-narrative beta build episodes designed by the original developers.

Coming soon to every platform, recruit fellow operatives and crank up mayhem with 11-player online multiplayer match-ups featuring cross-play. Engage in classic “COMM-BAT” deathmatch, become prey in 10 vs. 1 Hunter mode, or play a piece of history in “Capture the Triad” mode.

“Reviving ROTT has been a blast. Many thanks to our friends at Nightdive and New Blood for making the console edition a reality,” said Scott Miller, founder of Apogee Entertainment and original project manager of Rise of the Triad circa 1995. “ROTT’s simple, fast-paced formula was revolutionary and still yields hours upon hours of fun. For some, this is the FPS that your parents played, but the console edition gives a whole new generation to join the H.U.N.T., and I’m sure some parent-child faceoffs will be in the works!”

Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition is available now on Steam and GOG for $19.99 USD and on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One along with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S via backward compatibility. Will you be playing it?
