The classic first-person shooter, Soldier of Fortune, originally launched by Raven Software on PC in 2000, is getting a stunning revival. Thanks to the efforts of a dedicated modder known as ‘Pathtraced Paradise,’ this iconic game is undergoing a transformation with a new RTX Remix mod that introduces path-traced graphics, offering a fresh visual experience.
Reviving Soldier of Fortune with RTX Remix
Currently, the modder has shared videos on YouTube showcasing the first two levels, while compiled files for the tutorial and initial three levels are available. However, this project is still in development, and gamers will need to be patient for the complete mod to be available. As of now, there is no download link for the mod.
Reimagining old games with such mods breathes new life into them, enhancing the experience beyond the original graphics settings. This transformation makes revisiting these classics more enjoyable.
Path-Tracing: A Trend in Gaming Mods
Other recent mods that have incorporated path-tracing to rejuvenate older games include impressive versions of Max Payne 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV, along with The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Additionally, noteworthy mods have brought path-tracing to Fallout: New Vegas and the Black Mesa remake of Half-Life. The creator behind the GTA IV mod has also successfully applied path-tracing to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Portal 2, and Left 4 Dead 2.
The completion date for the Soldier of Fortune mod by Pathtraced Paradise remains unknown. However, the teaser videos offer an exciting glimpse into what fans can expect once the full mod is ready, promising even more enhancements upon its completion.
