The <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/1421490\/Rise_of_the_Triad_Ludicrous_Edition\/\">Steam<\/a> version, which came out earlier this year, has been very positively received by players and comes with restored content, new episodes, online multiplayer, and a huge number of gameplay options.<\/p>\n<p>In case you need to catch up to speed, here&#8217;s a summary of what to expect:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>For the first time in <em>ROTT<\/em> history, gear up for all-out carnage on consoles and experience the trailblazing \u201890s FPS as never played before &#8211; with a controller! Run and gun across newly added multiplayer maps, and enjoy modern comforts like revamped 4K graphics, increased FOV, and cloud saves.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Gear up and take aim as an operative of the High-Risk United Nations Task-Force (codenamed H.U.N.T.) on a top-secret investigation off the California coast. Select from five elite soldiers armed with distinct abilities and stats, and stamp out shadowy cult activity wreaking havoc on Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Navigate twisty labyrinthine lairs and stage an all-out assault with iconic weaponry like dual-wielded pistols and MP-40 machine guns. Turn up the heat with face-melting drunk missiles, and rocket-jump skyward to rain down firepower from above in the world\u2019s first FPS with verticality.<\/p>\n<p>Feast on fresh content for die-hard operatives including five separate campaigns, expansion packs, and new episodes conceived by the original designers. Dust off untold stories with never-before-seen content from lost beta builds, and rock out to a remixed soundtrack with music choices from every <em>ROTT<\/em> release ever.<\/p>\n<p>Crank up the LUDICROUS intensity with 11-player cross-play online multiplayer functionality, no dial-up screeching necessary. Engage in classic COMM-BAT deathmatch, take on the world in 10 vs. 1 Hunter mode, and fight for control in the historic \u201cCapture the Triad\u201d mode, gaming\u2019s first ever online capture the flag mode.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Check out the PC launch trailer below to see what this FPS classic has in store, and let us known in the comments if you&#8217;ll be picking this one up.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-youtube\">\n<figure class=\"youtube\" data-videoid=\"rNTLqDdWMmk\">[embedded content]<figcaption class=\"youtube-sub\">Subscribe to <a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/subscription_center?add_user=nintendolife\">Nintendo Life<\/a> on <span class=\"g-ytsubscribe\" data-channel=\"nintendolife\" data-layout=\"default\" data-count=\"default\"><a class=\"external\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/nintendolife\">YouTube<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image: Nightdive Studios Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition has its sights set on a 29th September 2023 release date on Switch and other consoles, Apogee Entertainment, New Blood Interactive, and Nightdive Studios have announced today.
