YouTube’s ‘UnrealWars’ appears to be working on a fan remake of Star Wars: Rebel Assault in Unreal Engine 5. Although there is currently no ETA, you can find below the first trailer for it.
Star Wars: Rebel Assault was a 1993 rail shooter that came out on MS-DOS and old consoles. From what I remember, the game can be finished in an hour or so.
Unlike other fan remakes, this one will most likely see the light of day. After all, this is a rail shooter. So, in theory, UnrealWars should be able to finish it.
In Star Wars: Rebel Assault, players will join Rookie One as they pilot iconic starfighters, engage in intense dogfights, and embark on daring missions against the Empire.
This fan remake will have updated controls for a smoother gameplay experience. Moreover, it will feature classic characters and locations with a modern twist.
Since this is a rail shooter, you should temper your expectations. Still, from what I can see in this trailer, the remake will please all fans of this classic Star Wars game. And, let’s now hope that someone will remake Stars Wars Episode 1: Racer in UE5.
Speaking of Unreal Engine 5, you should also check out the following fan projects. For instance, you can find some faithful remasters of Dark Souls and Dark Souls 3, which are super cool. A few months ago, we also shared an amazing remake of Toy Story 2. Then there’s this fantastic fan remake of STALKER that’s worth a look.

Need for Speed Carbon and Tony Hawk’s Underground have also received some cool remakes. Oh, and there is a fan remake of Tomb Raider The Last Revelation, featuring Angelina Jolie and Christoph Walz. And if that’s not enough, there are fan remakes for Star Wars: Republic Commando, Death Stranding, Fallout 4, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s Solitude, Grand Theft Auto 4, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Fallout 4, Resident Evil 1, Skyrim’s Winterhold and Silent Hill 3’s Lakeside Amusement Park. There is also this Studio Ghibli stylized teaser for Zelda: Ocarina of Time in Unreal Engine 5. So, lots of UE5 fan remakes, right? Well, since they’re all really cool, we suggest giving them a watch.
As said, there is no ETA on when the Star Wars: Rebel Assault Remake will come out. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
