OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Rise of the Triad Rises Again

August 2, 2012 – Dallas, TX - Today at QuakeCon, Apogee Software and Interceptor Entertainment announced the rebirth of the cult-classic first-person shooter, "Rise of the Triad" - vowing to make it bigger, better and more ludicrous than ever before. Powered by the industry-leading Unreal Engine 3 from Epic Games, "Rise of the Triad" includes a full single-player campaign, a fully featured multiplayer experience and so much more.

"We were seeking a strong, independent, hard-working development partner to herald the eagerly-anticipated return of 'Rise of the Triad'," said Terry Nagy, co-founder and Chief Creative Officer of Apogee. "We have indeed found that partner in Interceptor Entertainment."

"Apogee has given us a great opportunity with Rise of the Triad," said Interceptor CEO Frederik Schreiber. "We are all about fast-paced action and this was simply a perfect match for us as fans of old school shooters."

Set for release on PC via Steam late this year, "Rise of the Triad" is packed with features that are sure to melt your face off:

Step into the shoes of the H.U.N.T. (High-Risk United Nations Taskforce) with five unique characters, each with different play styles.
Blast through over 20 of levels of explosive single-player action.
Unique multiplayer maps bring back all the fun and excitement of classic ROTT.
The full arsenal of over-the top weapons is back, including the Flamewall, Firebomb, Split Missile, Drunk Missile and, of course, the Excalibat!
The maniacal modes return, too, with God mode, Elasto mode, Mercury mode, Shrooms mode and everyone's favorite, Dog mode!
Build your own levels, mods and share them with Valve's Steamworks.
Offline single-player and multiplayer allows for instant action.
Find tons of secrets, collectables, special events and hidden areas to explore.
Get more than 100 achievements to add to your score, which is tracked on our worldwide leaderboard and stat-tracking system.
ROTT is bloodier and more ludicrous than ever, with full character and enemy dismemberment.
The iconic original soundtrack has been completely re-forged in the fires of heavy metal!
Nostalgia abounds with the option to play with all the original sounds and music.
Built on fully-licensed Unreal Engine 3 technology, ROTT will run on low-end PCs and push high-end PCs to their limits!

    I remember Mushrooms Mode. I have no idea why, because I have no memory of this game or any idea what it was about- but I remember Mushrooms mode.

    My family must have gotten a shareware demo of it during the period where the best computers we could afford were 10 years behind, I guess Mushrooms was the only thing that stuck with me.

    Dog mode for best mode ever.

    Also I really hope they keep that goofy xylophone sound from when you fry dudes with the inferno missile launcher

    As I said in the steam thread

    I'm super wary because of what has happened to apogee/3D realms

    but I'm super hopeful as well

    i'd be happy if only the music gets a decent overhaul. ROTT has one of the best video game soundtracks.

    I've never played the original, but I'm getting a Duke Nukem Forever vibe from that trailer and I don't like it.

    I do love the utter disrespect for realism. \

    Up yours, realism.

    Whaaat? You're crazy, fool!

    My favorite thing about the trailer is how it starts like every other FPS announcement trailer and then oh yeah you shoot a guy in the face fifty times and cut someone in half with pistol fire and we still have those weird medallions and inexplicable blade barriers and flame walls and fuck yeah

  • MeldingMelding Registered User regular
    Oh god! I am excited!

    When is this out? i need to piss away my money on it!
