The Video Game History Foundation recently discovered the original source code for the unreleased game Xcavator 2025, with the blessing of the late developer’s family. Created by Incredible Technologies – the team known for arcade hits like Golden Tee Golf and Big Buck Hunter – the game was turned down by publishers in 1991 and has remained lost until now.
The trailer received a lot of positive feedback, and viewers quickly started discussing what they saw. One popular observation was a potential new feature – the ability to drag and revive fallen teammates. This is visible at the 0:42 mark, showing a soldier being pulled to safety while still shooting. Currently, this mechanic isn’t available in the game Hell Let Loose, suggesting it’s a new addition for an upcoming update.
Players on Reddit expressed a lot of disappointment with the game’s port. The biggest problem was noticeable input lag, making the game difficult to play. Another issue was that it was capped at 30 frames per second. This was especially frustrating for fans because the game can run at up to 120 frames per second when played on the console while docked.
This update makes the Nintendo Switch versions (1 and 2) consistent with other platforms, and it also tweaks how passive skills work across the board. You can find detailed patch notes for Switch 1/2 in Japanese here, for Xbox Series here, and for PlayStation (PS5, PS4) and Steam combined here.
