In February, we informed you about a fan remake of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 in Unreal Engine. And today, we are happy to report that a new version of it has been released. Yeap, you read that right Star Wars fans. You can experience this classic Star Wars FPS with modern graphics.
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 Unreal Engine Remake Version 1.02 features 3 official levels from the original game and 4 Survival levels. It also comes with a Sandbox mode and a 3D model viewer. Oh, and there is also a bonus level for testing.
In order to celebrate this release, Ruppertle has also shared a new trailer for this fan remake. This trailer shows off the new 3D models for the enemies, as well as the recreated environments. It looks incredible so be sure to watch it. And then, after watching it, you can go ahead and download the remake from this link.
And now for the big question. Does this remake use Unreal Engine 5 or Unreal Engine 4? Ruppertle has not specified which engine he used. Thankfully, though, by looking at the executable file, we can figure this out. So, from the looks of it, this remake of Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 uses Unreal Engine 4. To be more precise, it uses UE4.26.2.0.
Finally, while this remake does not use UE5, we recommend trying out these other free fan-made UE5 demos. You can grab a Superman UE5 Demo, a Halo 3: ODST Remake, and a Spider-Man UE5 Demo. There’s also a fan-made version of STALKER in Unreal Engine 5. If you love old-school FPS games, you should check out this remake of the classic FPS Blood in Epic’s engine. Don’t also forget the remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s Halo level in UE5. Lastly, we have The Lord of the Rings: Conquest Reimagined in Unreal Engine 5 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in UE 5.3.1. They all look awesome, so be sure to give them a try.
Have fun!
