Although it doesn’t hold up well by today’s standards, Star Wars: Dark Forces was a significant title in 1995. In contrast, Outlaws was overlooked as LucasArts’ second attempt at a first-person shooter built on its proprietary Jedi Engine. Few gamers seem to remember this title, making its potential remaster an interesting venture.

Set for release later this year, the remaster promises sharper 4K visuals, support for 120fps, gamepad compatibility, and a broad range of multiplayer modes, similar to its expansion, A Handful of Missions. This update mixes nostalgia with modern gaming conveniences, offering a chance to revisit a relatively forgotten gem from the late 90s.

With its aim to recreate a wild west ambiance and its introduction of mechanics like reloading and sniper scopes, Outlaws had set itself apart during its release, despite being overshadowed by its contemporaries. The remaster could revive interest in this unique title from gaming history.
