Flashback HD announced

Ubisoft has announced Flashback HD for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.

The 1992 classic has been remade in 3D using Unreal Engine, with the game's original creator Paul Cuisset in charge of development.

Flashback HD will come with all new gameplay mechanics to bring the title into modern times.

"The team modernised gameplay mechanics, making the game more reactive, offering new features like gadgets and an experience progression system," reads the press release.

"But the developers kept the original formula in mind: a fine formula between rolling and shooting, exploring remote space stations and obliterating hostile alien planets."

Check out a trailer for Flashback HD below.

A price and release date have yet to be announced.
