I genuinely believe that 2014's Wolfenstein The new order & then the 2016 Doom played a huge role into the revival of boomer shooters. The wave of retro/boomer shooters since then has been insane and probably the best thing to have happened to PC gaming in a long time.
Pixelated-PSX-N64 mess of an art style in glorious HD >200 fps
Where to even begin... I'll put the trailers in spoiler titles to not have that big of a page to display.
Let's take a quick look at a few upcoming retro shooters releasing in 2023 (hopefully) with a ton of them already in early access and with demos.
Probably one of the best reviewed game on Steam and still early access. Supposed to release this year. DMC like style system for a super rapid and brutal shooter. Heal from the blood of your enemies. It's probably the fastest shooter i've ever played.
These devs, much like ultrakill, looked at Doom and said, pfft, that's slow as fuck. The best moments of Doom? That's cranked up to 11 and constant here. You have a chainsaw for a leg! It's in early access and releasing early 2023.
Here's a return to the glory days of Goldeneye 007 on N64. Can even make your own campaign.
Sequel to Ion Fury. Now in a 3D engine. 3DRealm is actually benefiting a lot from the return of boomer shooters. So far this looks EXCELLENT
You have to manage 2 sets of weapons, your hands and your backpack. A super aggressive shooter against swarms of enemies. Grappling hook, grinding on rails included.

Cel shaded Cyberpunk roguelite shooter. Its Doom eternal + Hades.

Immersive Sci-Fi FPS inspired by Metal Gear Solid & Deus ex but feels like being Raiden in revengeance with the crazy sword bullet blocking and even parry, with stealth and RPG elements.

Dino Crysis FPS? YES PLEASE. PSX inspired graphics. Survival horror. Leaving a trail of blood will attract the dinos. It's as close to a boomer shooter Jurassic park we can get.

Again 3D Realms, jesus christ. I include this in 2023 as while the episode 1 is out, there's more to come. It's again one of the best reviewed Boomer shooter on steam. Very interesting art style here, very much Duke Nukem look but with colors very muted, it shouldn't work but it somehow does, almost like the devs had an 8-bit era limitation on colors to be used.

Thief + guns // Survival horror + Immersive sims? From the same publisher as Ultrakill, Dusk, Amid Evil, seems like nothing they publish is ever not a goddamn gem.

I have to stop, because its endless. I'm not even including remakes like System shock, Sin, King pin, and SO MANY others that are even more retro 90's, nor are we talking about past years games.
It's fucking insane how many there are. I love it. This is why you buy a super expensive GPU!
