From Press Release:
London, UK, August 17, 2022: Boutique game publisher SNEG is thrilled to announce the reconstructed re-release of 90’s classic FPS Chasm: The Rift on Steam and GOG, with a target date of the last quarter of 2022. The original title was developed by Ukrainian game studio Action Forms, quickly becoming one of the most thrilling and innovative first-person shooters of its time and the first Eastern European FPS ever made. This fully reconstructed re-release delivers visual enhancements, audio improvements and full controller support to the classic 1997 title.
In Chasm: The Rift, players take on the role of a soldier in a special commando unit who defends planet Earth from “Timestrikers”, monstrous mutants invading Earth throughout history, and also destroy time channels to finally rid Earth of their threat. One against the horde, players will rely solely on their reflexes and the many weapons at their disposal to find their way through labyrinthine levels populated by fearsome creatures.
Along with a heart-pounding adventure through the Corridors of Time and the satisfaction of ripping limbs from hideous monsters with the iconic BladeGun, and an innovative weather system, the player will now be able to enjoy this late 90’s FPS classic with the comfort of modern PCs via Steam and GOG, now with full 4K support, improved sound design, achievements, and localised into twelve languages.
We’re extremely excited to resurrect the beloved Chasm: The Rift, originally created by our friends at Action Forms back in 1997” says Oleg Klapovskiy, SNEG Director. “With fantastic gameplay and huge innovations when it first came out, I’m certain fans of the original as well as newer fans of the retro-shooter genre will enjoy it.”
