As someone who’s spent countless hours in the galaxy far, far away, I can’t help but feel nostalgic about the release of Star Wars: Republic Commando twenty years ago. The game was a gem, and its longevity is a testament to its quality. Now, a dedicated group of fans has taken it upon themselves to breathe new life into this classic with the SWRC Remaster mod.

In approximately two months, the first-person shooter game “Star Wars: Republic Commando” will mark its 20th anniversary since its release. Twenty years is quite a long time in this fast-paced industry, leading a dedicated group of fans to create an upgrade for this timeless title. The outcome of their efforts is the SWRC Remaster modification. We’re bringing it up because they’ve just released a major update.

To start off, let me clarify what this mod is all about. As hinted by its title, it functions as an unofficial upgrade or enhancement to the game. The main objective of the project is to replace the original textures with ones that are more detailed and higher resolution. Additionally, it enhances many models within the game, some gameplay elements, and even supports high widescreen resolutions. For those who wish to customize their visual experience further, there’s an optional Reshade configuration available that alters the color scheme and boosts certain visual effects.

Version 1.8 of the mod brings, among other things, many new textures.

The latest iteration of the SWRC Remaster, labeled as 1.8, marks the most substantial change yet throughout its evolution. Key enhancements encompass:

  1. New textures and models
  2. HUD parts remade by hand
  3. New title screen background
  4. Enemy health bar fixed in HUD
  5. General fixes / improvements

The “Star Wars: Republic Commando Remaster” stands out as a top-notch initiative for PC gamers who yearn to experience the “Star Wars: Republic Commando” game today, since it never underwent an official remastering. Previously, a version of this game was launched on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, introducing some enhancements; however, these updates never made their way to the PC edition. Fortunately, enthusiasts have stepped in to address this gap. The “Star Wars: Republic Commando Remaster,” paired with the mandatory mod “Star Wars Republic Commando Fix,” delivers everything we’d hope for from an official update of this timeless classic.

Right now, during the ongoing Steam Winter Sale, the game Star Wars: Republic Commando is being significantly reduced in price. Similarly, a comparable deal can be found on GOG.com.
