An N64 exclusive from July 8, 1997 is unexpectedly making a comeback. The year 1997 is remembered in gaming history. This year saw the debut of titles including Grand Theft Auto, Diablo, Star Fox 64, Gran Tursimo, GoldenEye 007, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Final Fantasy 7, Star Fox 64, Gran Tursimo, PaRappa the Rapper, Fallout, Dungeon Keeper, and Diablo. As a result, a lot of 1997’s video games are frequently forgotten, especially if they weren’t the best, like Dark Rift. Having said that, it appears that the classic N64 3D fighting game Dark Rift will return, and via Steam no less.

Classic N64 game Dark Rift is already listed on Steam

The game’s publisher Piko Interactive LLC and developer Kronos Digital Entertainment have a Steam listing for it right now. And the game is “coming soon,” per this Steam listing. The game’s unexpected return is weird, but it’s also odd that it isn’t a remaster or remake. It appears to be limited to the PC version, which came out in 1997 a short time after the N64 version.

Dark Rift was originally created by the aforementioned Kronos Digital Entertainment and published by Vic Tokai. It was first given a poor rating of 57% on GameRankings when it was first released. The game is renowned for being a cult favorite, but more so because it was the first console title to utilise 60 frames per second. It is also the first native fighting game on the N64 in this regard. This is made even more intriguing by the fact that the game was initially called Criticom II and was under development as a Sega Saturn game, slotting in between Cardinal Syn and Criticom.

There is currently no information about the game’s release on the Nintendo Switch or any other platform outside Steam. You may anticipate a Switch release given the game’s Nintendo background, but one hasn’t been confirmed—at least not yet.
