the backstory here is a bit nuts, a remaster of this game was announced back in 2020. but it was being developed by destructive creations (yes, the Hatred devs) for some inexplicable reason.
putting aside, well, everything about them being a bunch of soulless edgelords. the team had basically zero experience making ports, so it's not surprising the game vanished for a while. with the only real news being that the publisher got changed a few months ago.
meanwhile, about a year prior to those guys getting the project. Kaiser (the lead Kex engine dev at Nightdive) expressed interest in doing his own source port of the game.
evidently these two paths crossed recently, with apogee (they're an entirely separate company from 3D realms nowadays.) recognizing that nightdive would be a far better choice to work on it over the aforementioned edgelords.
as for where New Blood fits into this, a lot of the staff there (including fairly decent person Dave Oshry.) previously worked on the 2013 remake of the game.
and if you'd like to know what this new port brings to the table, you're getting the standard stuff.
and a physical release is in the works, naturally. by the expected team at Limited Run Games.
