Nightdive Studios and publisher Atari have released the launch trailer for Sin: Reloaded and confirmed the remaster is now available on both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 through the Nintendo eShop.
Sin: Reloaded is a modern overhaul of the 1998 cult classic first-person shooter SiN, rebuilt with Nightdive’s KEX Engine and updated assets for contemporary platforms.
Background and context
SiN originally launched in 1998 and was notable for pushing the Quake II engine, offering high interactivity for its time.
Players controlled security consultant Colonel John R.
Blade across a near-future dystopia as he battled the villainous Dr. Elexis Sinclaire, CEO of SinTEK Industries.
The original game was recognized for its DOS-style terminal hacking, functional elevators and security cameras, vehicle traversal (including forklift, patrol boat, and helicopter), and combat systems that allowed weapon disarms and area-specific damage.
What Nightdive and Atari confirmed
Nightdive Studios and Atari released a launch trailer alongside the Switch storefront release, announcing that Sin: Reloaded bundles the base game and the SiN: Wages of SiN mission pack.
The teams confirmed the release includes modernized control schemes, an updated UI for gamepads and mouse-and-keyboard on supported platforms, and improved level geometry across the maps.
