As you might recall, last year during 3D Realms’ annual ‘Realms Deep’ broadcast – Nightdive Studios (the team behind the recent Shadow Man remaster for Switch) announced it would be reviving the 1996 FPS PowerSlave Exhumed (also known as PowerSlave / Exhumed) by Lobotomy Software – combining the Sega Saturn and PlayStation console versions.
The same title has now been locked in for a Nintendo Switch eShop release and will arrive next month on 10th February for the price of $19.99 USD (or your regional equivalent). Like the recent Shadow Man release, this new version of the game will also be powered by Nightdive’s KEX Engine.
Apart from wide-screen and HD display (as mentioned in the trailer above), here’s a bit more about this game via the official Switch eShop listing:
PowerSlave: Exhumed is a KEX Engine port of the classic console game
Destination: The ancient Egyptian city of Karnak. Alien forces possessing horrifying powers have sealed off the once thriving community from all outside contact. As a covert operations specialist, you have been trained for all forms of contingencies. Nothing can prepare you, however, for the nightmare you are about to enter…
