In a delightful turn of events for fans of classic gaming, NOX, the action role-playing game released by Westwood in 2000, is poised for a revival. This nostalgic title, which has lingered in the shadows since its last mention three years ago, has now secured a spot in GOG’s Preservation Program following a recent patron poll. This initiative ensures that NOX will receive ongoing support and remain accessible to players for the foreseeable future.
Reviving a Classic
NOX, often overshadowed by the release of Diablo 2 just months after its launch, is finally getting the recognition it deserves. GOG, known for its commitment to preserving classic games, has pledged to enhance and maintain NOX, much like it did with the beloved title Thief. The expectation is that GOG will not only ensure the game runs smoothly but may also implement improvements that elevate the overall experience.
Currently, NOX is available on GOG for an enticing price of .39, a limited-time offer that lasts for approximately 15 hours from the time of this announcement. For those who already own the game, any updates or enhancements made by GOG will be provided free of charge, making this an opportune moment for both new and returning players to dive back into the world of NOX.
The excitement surrounding this revival is palpable, and it seems that many enthusiasts are eager to seize the opportunity to revisit this classic. In fact, the author of this piece couldn’t resist the temptation and promptly purchased NOX upon hearing the news. It appears that the allure of nostalgia combined with the promise of a revitalized gaming experience is too compelling to ignore.
