Jedi Knight Remastered - New Version of Mod for Iconic FPS Goes Live
Version 2.0 of the Jedi Knight Remastered mod, a project that thoroughly revamps the classic FPS Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, has been released.
Three more weeks left to the premiere of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Waiting for this production can be made more pleasant by the return to Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, a game that also tells the story of another Jedi knight trying to survive under the Empire's rule. The opportunity to do so is perfect, because a new version of the Jedi Knight Remastered mod has just been released, which thoroughly refreshes this classic.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II remains one of the best Star Wars games in history. The problem is that this year the game will celebrate its 25th birthday. A quarter of a century is an eternity in the gaming industry, so launching the game can be a real hassle, and even when we succeed, many of the game's elements fall far short of modern standards. Jedi Knight Remastered was created to remedy these problems.
