Nightdive Studios

In its first decade, Nightdive Studios has built a reputation as one of the games industry’s leading developers of remakes and remasters.

Thanks partly to its internally-developed KEX Engine, Nightdive’s output of remakes and remasters of early 3D games has been simply prolific, with notable releases including System Shock, Doom + Doom II, Star Wars: Dark Forces, Turok and its two sequels, Blade Runner, Shadow Man, and more.

Now under the umbrella of Atari, alongside another preservation legend in Digital Eclipse, Nightdive’s studio head Stephen Kick and director of business development Larry Kuperman claim the studio’s future is “so bright, you’ve got to wear shades”.
