Rise of the Triad: Dark War is a first-person shooter video game, developed and published by Apogee Software in 1995. The player controls one of five members of a United Nations backed special forces unit, who have been sent to investigate a deadly cult operating on San Nicholas Island which seeks to destroy the nearby Los Angeles.
The shareware version of the game, released in 1994, is titled Rise of the Triad: The Hunt Begins and serves as a prequel to the main game. A remake was designed by Interceptor Entertainment and released by Apogee Games in 2013, while a remaster developed by Nightdive Studios and co-published by New Blood Interactive, titled Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition, was released in 2023.
The game began production as a follow-up to Wolfenstein 3D, but was soon altered and became a stand-alone game. It is powered by a modified version of the Wolfenstein 3D engine, allowing for elevation, dynamic lighting and level-over-level environments.
