New incredible screenshots from Star Wars 1995 “Dark Forces” Level 1 fan remake in Unreal Engine 4


Jason Lewis, senior environment artist at Obsidian Entertainment, has shared some gorgeous new screenshots from his upcoming Star Wars 1995 “Dark Forces” Level 1 fan remake in Unreal Engine 4. And… man… it looks absolutely amazing.

We don’t know whether Lewis will release this map/project to the public once it’s finished. Obsidian’s artist has shown an image with a weapon and has asked other artists to help him with animations. Lewis is also going to take a pass at setting up some scripting to make the door triggers and locks work properly as well as fixing some weird level streaming bugs I currently have. As such, and since this will be a full remake of the first level, we hope to actually play it.

In case you weren’t aware of, 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.

We’ll be sure to keep you posted about its progress so stay tuned for more. Until we have more news about it, enjoy the following screenshots!
