Freedom Fighters has just got a surprise PC re-release on GOG.com

The cult classic landed on the site today, marking its first-ever digital release. You can currently pick it up for a discounted rate of £7.39, which is 33% off its normal price of £11.39. 

As spotted on resetera earlier in the day, PEGI rating lists accidentally revealed that a remaster was coming, and confirmed that Hitman developer IO Interactive as the publisher of this GOG version. 

With strategic combat, the game has become somewhat of a cult classic since it first released just under two decades ago, and fans have no doubt been hoping for a remaster for quite some time. IO has spectacularly delivered on their wishes.

Senior staff writer

I started out writing for the games section of a student-run website as an undergrad, and continued to write about games in my free time during retail and temp jobs for a number of years. Eventually, I earned an MA in magazine journalism at Cardiff University, and soon after got my first official role in the industry as a content editor for Stuff magazine. After writing about all things tech and games-related, I then did a brief stint as a freelancer before I landed my role as a staff writer here at GamesRadar+. Now I get to write features, previews, and reviews, and when I'm not doing that, you can usually find me lost in any one of the Dragon Age or Mass Effect games, tucking into another delightful indie, or drinking far too much tea for my own good.
