DSOGaming reports that an artist for Obsidian is recreating the first level of Dark Forces in Unreal Engine 4.

Jason Lewis, Senior Environment Artist at Obsidian Entertainment, has been experimenting with Unreal Engine 4. Lewis is currently recreating the first level from the 1999 Star Wars game, Dark Forces, in Epic’s Engine and shared some comparison screenshots between the original and his WIP project. And the results are amazing.

What’s also cool is that Lewis has added a new starting area that wasn’t in the original game.

That would be 1994. Dark Forces was such a amazing game back then. The beginning of more complex first person games. I liked how it was the story of a ex Imp soldier in the rebellion and didn't have any force magic stuff going on. Interesting perspective and LucasArts was at their peak.

It reminds me of the abandoned Dark Forces mod for Jedi Academy. They had several missions rebuilt and functional.
