Why Games Like Killing Time Deserve to be Preserved

Why Revive a Classic Game Like Killing Time?

At Nightdive Studios, we are committed to reviving lost and forgotten games, and our recent collaboration with Ziggurat Interactive on Killing Time: Resurrected for Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S is a testament to that goal. While Killing Time may not have the same commercial success as other classics from the 90s, there is still a dedicated fan base that has long awaited its remaster.

The Importance of Game Preservation

Preserving classic video games is essential to ensure they are not lost to future generations. According to the Software Preservation Network, a majority of classic games released in the U.S. are considered critically endangered. Remakes, remasters, and re-releases play a vital role in this preservation effort, allowing players to experience and appreciate the history of game development.

Game Preservation in Action

Companies like Nightdive ensure that original versions of games are included alongside remasters, providing players with access to historical content. The team also preserves additional game content in a “Vault” feature, offering insight into the development process.

Enhancing the Gaming Experience

Remakes and remasters not only preserve games but also improve their playability and accessibility. Killing Time: Resurrected offers an improved control scheme and graphical enhancements, making it more enjoyable for both new and returning players.

Experience the Excitement of Killing Time: Resurrected

Whether you’re revisiting a classic favorite, discovering a hidden gem, or supporting game preservation efforts, Killing Time: Resurrected offers a unique gaming experience that is now available on Xbox One and Series X|S.
