The retro FPS from Voidpoint and 3D Realms is officially getting multiplayer along with a note about a delayed final release.

Sent out today via press channels, they said that it was originally due for a full release in Q3 of this year, however they're pushing it back to "early 2019" as they want to ensure it "meets the same level of polish as other FPS classics from 3D Realms". They're planning a multiplayer beta closer to the final launch, although they're not really giving out any details on exactly how the multiplayer will work other than saying it will be "old-school multiplayer".

They've also announced a limited 500 boxed copy "Founder’s Edition" which will cost $99.99 (not including shipping) and each will be individually numbered, which you can pre-order from the official site.

It will include:

6’’ Bombshell Figurine

Ion Maiden’s Original Soundtrack

Ion Maiden Mousepad

Key Art Poster

Bowling Bomb Stickers

Lanyard

3 1:1 Scale Key Card Magnets

A “Coming Soon from 3D Realms” Catalogue Highlighting Exciting Upcoming Projects

You can grab the early builds right now from GOG and Steam, well worth a look if you like a truly retro experience. Runs like a dream for me and feels really good, fantastic to have it on Linux.
