Sin: Reloaded announced for Nintendo Switch, return of the 1998 shooter

Atari and Digital Eclipse today unveiled Sin: Reloaded, which is in the works for Nintendo Switch. It’ll be available later this year.

Sin: Reloaded marks the return of the 1998 first-person shooter from Ritual Entertainment. This new edition features enhanced remastered visuals, modernized control schemes, and includes the Wages of Sin extra mission pack.

Here’s a bunch of additional information:

Set in a near-future dystopian world, SiN: Reloaded puts you in control of security consultant Colonel John R. Blade as you take on the seductively evil Doctor Elexis Sinclaire. When Elexis, CEO of SinTEK Industries, begins injecting the streets with a DNA-altering drug, it’s time to reassess the laws of morality by facing off against Elexis’ unholy army of genetically-engineered mutants.

Known for pushing the Quake II engine to its limits, the original SiN was lauded for introducing a groundbreaking amount of interactivity in every level. Players can hack their way into computer terminals using DOS-style code, use elevators and security cameras to wreak havoc, and traverse levels using a variety of vehicles, including a forklift, a patrol boat, and a helicopter. Your actions have consequences, creating branching paths as the game progresses. From a combat perspective, SiN also helped pioneer the ability to knock weapons out of an opponent’s hands and take area-specific damage from their attacks.

SiN: Reloaded includes the Wages of SiN mission pack, where you go up against a diabolical mafia boss with a new army of dangerous freaks. Both games have been optimized using the KEX Engine to play on modern systems. Graphics have been beautifully remastered with new textures, while control schemes have been modernized, and maps have been improved with Nightdive’s established precision. There’s never been a better way to get … naughty.
