Sometimes…life gives you news that you truly don’t expect, and that can happen quite often in the gaming space, where few things are truly predictable. Don’t believe us? Do you remember the 1990s RTS series Krush Kill ‘N Destroy? If you don’t, that’s okay, as it’s been quite a while since the games were relevant. And yet, they’re about to make a comeback, for Ziggurat Interactive and Reboxy are teaming up to bring a physical collector’s edition of the game to fans, and they’re upgrading it with some online multiplayer! Details below:

“The new big box editions are packed with delights for die-hard KKND fans and passionate media preservationists alike, and release later this summer. The already-announced online multiplayer update is now available for both games
(Xtreme and Krossfire) in open beta, allowing players to fight over a devastated Earth’s dwindling resources.

In this beta, both KKND games will also receive improved mod support, new languages, bug fixes, windowed mode, and new playable display resolutions for the definitive mutant-blasting experience.

Obliterate your rivals with nuclear fire online, then dazzle them in real life with the fully kitted out Classic Edition and bursting with items that will make you the envy of any classic RTS enjoyer – available from Reboxy later this summer.

The Classic Edition of each title includes the big box presentation (laminated, with foam insert), a pressed CD-ROM, two redeemable codes (choice of Steam and GOG), a reprint of the original manual, an A3 full-color poster, and a CD jewel case inlay, all factory shrink-wrapped for mint condition collectors or those who want maximum unboxing satisfaction.”

You can get your copies via the Deboxy Store, or GOG, should you be interested. In the meantime, here are some other updates you can expect from the Collector’s Editions:

• Classic Edition with laminated casing and foam insert, CD-ROM, 2x game codes, manual, full-color A3 poster, and CD jewel case inlay.
• Display Edition with laminated casing and foam insert, 2x game codes, and full-color A3 poster.
• Differing EU and US designs of both boxes (and content), for a total of eight variants to collect. The contents of the games and the manuals will remain the same, but each version across regions will feature a varied, custom design.
• Major update available in open beta with modern online multiplayer, new languages, improved modding support, bug fixes, and higher display resolutions up to 4K.
