Rise of the Triad returns to PC this year, powered by Unreal Engine 3

When it comes to the early days of first-person shooters, names like Wolfenstein 3D and Doom come up a lot. There are some, however, lucky enough to remember Rise of the Triad, a frenetic, gory and occasionally downright goofy shooter from 1994. Now, after over 15 years, Rise of the Triad is coming back, Apogee Software has announced (confirming the rumor from earlier today).

Rise of the Triad is being built on Unreal Engine 3 and is under development at Interceptor Software, which includes original ROTT level designer Joe Siegler as one of its members. The game will feature a single-player campaign, online multiplayer and a level editor that will allow players to share maps via Steamworks. And yes, it will include all of ROTT’s bizarre weapons and, of course, Dog mode.

Rise of the Triad is slated for “late this year.”Gallery: Rise of the Triad (QuakeCon 2012)Continue reading Rise of the Triad returns to PC this year, powered by Unreal Engine 3Rise of the Triad returns to PC this year, powered by Unreal Engine 3 originally appeared on Joystiq on Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:17:00 EST.
