Back in February 2018, we shared some screenshots from an upcoming fan remake of Star Wars: Dark Forces in Unreal Engine 4. Created by Obsidian Entertainment’s senior environment artist, Jason Lewis, this remake aimed to recreate the first level from the game in Epic’s engine. And we are happy to report today that this map is available for download.
As with most fan remakes, this map does not feature any enemies and is just a map recreation. Still, the attention to detail is incredible and shows what a modern-day take on that classic shooter could have looked like.
Star Wars: Dark Forces is a first-person shooter that came out in 1995. The game used the Jedi Engine, which was developed specifically for the game. This engine added gameplay features to the first-person shooter genre which were uncommon at the time of release, including level designs with multiple floors and the ability to look up and down.
Those interested can download the fan remake from here. In case you are interested in it but don’t want to download it, you can find below a video showcasing it. We strongly suggest downloading it as soon as possible as Disney/EA may take it down in the next couple of weeks.
Enjoy!

This is the kind of stuff we could have if EA didn’t own the rights.Thanks Disney, thanks a lot
The content shown here is three years old and was NEVER intended as a remake of any sort. This was just a side project from some guys at Obsidian, playing around with Unreal 4. There is no remake, no game, never will be.
This has nothing to do with the Dark Jedi remake from your article from last year.
Best not to blindly copy articles from Kotaku, eh? 🙂
It’s an empty map.
That moment when an unfinished one-level fan remake demo is more impressive than anything Disney has done with Star Wars.
Really liked Rogue One and Solo…
Rogue One had characters so laughable that you cheered on Vader while he slaughtered the “good guys” that you had zero emotional attachment to. No one cared when Jyn died or any of those characters. Solo is just more emasculating of male characters by mentally ill feminists that hijacked Lucasfilm and that George Lucas called “white slavers”. It also completely ruins Han’s arc in the original trilogy. Star Wars is dead until Disney no longer owns it and everything they have made is declared “legends” and the new owner makes the Thrawn Trilogy. They should name the clone Jake. The only people who still care about Disney Star Wars are too dumb to even realize that The Last Jedi was a postmodern deconstruction. I will help you out. It’s about to be done a lot better with Dune in a universe it actually fits in. The Last Jedi was not even original (which laughable critics praised it for), it was just more plagiarism by creatively bankrupt Hollywood, just like The Force Awakens. Hermit Luke is just Hermit Paul and they have made the Jedi into Paul’s empire and Fremen. Even calling Disney Star Wars “Star Wars” is laughable. It’s like me buying the rights to The Beatles and releasing a new album. Any storylines or things not done under Lucas supervision isn’t Star Wars. It’s fan fiction and Disney’s is really bad fan fiction.
