Nightdive and Ziggurat Interactive Team up to Bring ‘Killing Time: Resurrected to PC and Consoles This Year [Trailer]
Nightdive are diving back into the sea of Doom clones from the mid 90s, this time teaming up with publisher Ziggurat Interactive to announce an HD remaster of Studio 3DO’s 1995 FPS, Killing Time. Described as “the bastard child of Doom and The 7th Guest“, Killing Time: Resurrected will be coming later this year to PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
Originally released for the 3DO and ported to the PC, Killing Time used a mix of gallows humour, FMV and puzzles to create a unique experience for players. Killing Time: Resurrected features toggleable high-resolution character artwork/sprites from the original 3DO and PC versions of the game, upscaled environmental texturing, smoother gameplay, more responsive controls, and expanded control and key-bind settings, including PlayStation and Xbox controllers.
Set in the early 1930s, Killing Time casts players as a former Egyptology student trapped in the estate of wealthy heiress Tess Conway. Ms. Conway’s ritual to bestow eternal life backfires, and her high-society friends vanish without a trace. It’s up to players to find and destroy the mystical Egyptian Water-Clock to undo its curse and face a legion of supernatural horrors.
If you’re the curious type, the original version of Killing Time is still available on Steam.
It’s not much, but a leaked image from the fourth BioShock game has made its way online, courtesy of gaming website MP1ST. The screenshot in question (which you can see below via Imgur) is actually from a 2K Visual Effects Artist’s 2021 demo reel, with the image showing the UI and weapon.
Given that the image is from 2021, things are expectedly going to be changed once production ramps up, which looks to be happening pretty soon. The image also carries the code name “Parkside”, which is what was reported back in 2021 as the code name for this BioShock entry.
Obviously, not much can be gleaned from the screenshot, especially with this obviously being an early build. However, judging from the icons in the lower left, it’s safe to say that you’ll once again have your abilities, be they Plasmids or Vigor. That, and a trusty shotgun (so far) that has the ability to bounce its shots.
Obviously, neither 2K or Cloud Chamber have commented on the image.
Based on the long-standing rumours, this new BioShock entry is possibly going to be open world, with the setting a 1960s Antarctic city called Borealis. Again, things may change.
One of the big changes is the fact that Ken Levine, who was the mastermind behind the original game, will not be part of this new entry. Instead, Levine is now part of Ghost Story Games, which is currently working on their new BioShock-like game, Judas.
