It would be quite strange that they mention Prey 2006 and Max Payne, if it turned out that there would be no chance to see these getting a release. I'm really hoping we finally get to see these on GOG.
low rated
of course! thank you

Crosmando: From memory, Apogee was just a branch of 3D Realms (or visa versa). When they released 2D games, Apogee was the publisher, and when 3D games were released 3D Realms was the publisher.
Nope. Again, separate entities since 2008.

The *original* Apogee was just renamed to 3D Realms in 1996.

Darvond: Well, back to being back, for sure.
A remastered version, I would say.
Dead Fury / Below The Stone (Announcement Trailer)

"Two game announcements?!? Apogee is PROUD to announce both Dead Fury and Below the Stone, currently in deep development and comin' at ya in 2022!

DEAD FURY

Dead Fury features narrative-driven missions with fast-paced, third-person shooting in a world where humans are now unstoppable killing machines thanks to a mysterious infection brought back to Earth hidden within Mars’ rocks. Play as Jaxon, a soldier stationed in New Zealand who must fight off intelligent hordes with clever traps and firepower while he tracks down the rare flower that can slow the spread of the Fury infecting humanity.

BELOW THE STONE

Below the Stone invites treasure seekers to join the Explorer’s Guild of Draggas as an apprentice dwarf, continuing the sacred dwarven tradition of mining. Descend into procedurally generated, pixel-art biomes, digging for treasure and ore to obtain crucial upgrades for the next run. Discover the hidden world underneath the stone. Explore carefully, for anything earned in the mine is lost forever upon a Depth Dweller’s demise!"

Well, dead fury looks like a direct rip of days gone. The other one, “procedurally generated” immediately turns me off.
Next up are:

Elements

"Across Elemythia, a vast, verdant land of sword, sorcery, and secrets, eight enchanted Elemental Stones hold the key to saving Nyah and Beckett’s home. Accept your calling as either sibling, playing solo or drop-in co-op. Reclaim the eight Elemental Stones—and their powers of Light, Dark, Fire, Water, Ice, Nature, Earth, and Air—from the powerful guardians who now wield them for their selfish designs.

On the journey, explore every corner of a beautifully stylized open world. Climb snowy mountains, swim to the depths of glimmering lakes, and brave fiery plains in search of new challenges. Keep a sharp sword and sharp mind—perplexing puzzles hide the realm’s best secrets, and monsters can be defeated through many creative approaches, from skillful swordplay to magical mastery."

Very nice!

"'Rise of the Triad Remastered' Publishing Rights Picked Up By Apogee Entertainment, Coming In 2022

Step into the shoes of the H.U.N.T. (High-Risk United Nations Taskforce) with five unique characters, each with different play styles.
The full arsenal of over-the top weapons is back, including the Flamewall, Firebomb, Split Missile, Drunk Missile and, of course, the Excalibat! ROTT is bloodier and more ludicrous than ever, with full character and enemy dismemberment.
The iconic original soundtrack has been completely re-forged in the fires of heavy metal!

The original Rise of the Triad helped iterate on first-person shooters in ways still felt to this day. Then known as Apogee Software, the developers exhibited a wild willingness to experiment. With five distinct playable characters, complex maps embracing verticality, and an arsenal of bullet, missile, and magical weapons, shooter fans had a chaotic chemistry set at their disposal.

Apogee Software revisited Rise of the Triad in 2013, creating a remake alongside developer Slipgate Ironworks (formerly known as Interceptor Entertainment). Rise of the Triad 2013 modernized the adventure in Unreal Engine 3 but stayed true to the original’s spirit with fast movement, non-linear level design with tons of secrets, and multiple playable characters.

Digital preservation of classic games grows more important by the day. As such, 3D Realms and Apogee Entertainment originally planned to co-publish a remaster of the 1995 version. Over the past year, both parties agreed that since Apogee had published the 2013 remake, it made the most sense to pass the torch back to Apogee.

Fans of the franchise can rest assured that the continued development of the project is in good hands. The core of the action-packed shooter shall remain intact while introducing modern features like wide-screen, mouselook, revamped multiplayer and more later this year on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

“While there’s a special place in our heart for Rise of the Triad, we know it's in good hands with our friends at Apogee Entertainment,” said Frederik Schreiber, CEO at 3D Realms. “While we never mind having to drag out a CRT monitor to play old favorites, we hope this release helps new players experience this classic.”

Rise of the Triad Remastered is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC in 2022."
I hope that will come really this year...

Rise of the Triad (1994) is one of the few 90's FPS's that still lacks a high quality source port (WinROTT / GLROTT is not even close to GZDoom / Quakespasm / Raze, eg, 35fps cap, can't look up / down properly, etc) so maybe this will be one remaster that might actually be justified for once (depending on price and how well they preserve the original).
Compatibility of their games with newer systems is everything.
Hmmm i can already hear The Apogee intro...
