3D Realms and Voidpoint have announced that their old-school first-person shooter, Ion Maiden, will release in early 2019 and will feature a classic fast-paced multiplayer mode. Those who purchased the game during Early Access will have access to a multiplayer beta closer to launch. A bad-ass limited edition big box is available for pre-order now.
While the developer and publisher hoped to have the game ready for Q3 this year, both teams want to make sure the blood-soaked guns-blazing shooter meets the same level of polish as other FPS classics from 3D Realms.
Frederik Schreiber, Vice President at 3D Realms, said:
“We wanted Ion Maiden out as soon as possible, but it has to be the best it can be. But this extra time means we can make this awesome Big Box edition and add multiplayer at launch, so we hope players understand.”

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

the wait is killing me more for dusk episode 3
Don’t think so.
They added Queen of the Hill. Typical but fun single player horde mode.
Okay, thanks for the info.
Would love to play this when it comes out, and it looks the full game will still be using the BUILD engine’s EDuke32.
If you haven’t played the Demo, I can safely say it’s seriously straight out of the old school era and absolutely amazing! You’re going to love it if you like Build engine games.
Thanks buddy ! I’m going to try this game now.
No problem man! Let me know how you like it.
Sure thing !
Sooooo excited!
Played the demo….and boy was it good! Spot on everything!
There’s a demo??!?
Strangely, the most excited I’ve been for a shooter in a long while.
We need some variety out there.
