Classic remakes: Project X: Lightyears and X-OUT: Resurfaced
A small glimpse over the edge of the plate: the popular Amiga games "Project X" and "X-Out" are to be re-released in updated versions for current gaming platforms, with the help of renowned artists in the gaming industry.
"Project X: Lightyears" is to be a direct sequel to the classic shoot'em-up "Project X", which was developed and published by Team17 in 1992. The new edition will be musically accompanied by Allister Brimble, who is known for many soundtracks in the video game industry. The Kickstarter campaign to finance the project has already started.
X-Out, originally developed by Rainbow Arts for the Commodore 64 and also released for the Amiga in 1990, is also to be reissued, developed by ININ and Ziggurat (formerly Rainbow Arts): like the original, X-OUT: Resurfaced will be an underwater shoot'em-up, but with a completely new technical and gameplay design. The music will be provided by Chris Huelsbeck, graphics will be contributed by Ogan Kandemiroglu, who is continuing the visual legacy of his late brother Celal Kandemiroglu. In addition to the single-player mode, a local co-op mode for two players will also be offered.
"Project X: Lightyears" will be available on platforms such as PC and possibly other current consoles, while "X-OUT: Resurfaced" will be released for PC, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch. Both games promise to reinterpret the spirit of their predecessors with today's technological possibilities and appeal to both old fans and new players.
