On its Kickstarter page, the developers shared an update stating circumstances were different this time and are currently making the last major steps before they could possibly release the game. This year, they say it is going to be different. The devs made previous commitments way back in 2017, 2018, 2020, and lastly in 2021. This has been in development for quite a while now, since 2016 in fact. This is now the fifth time that the remaster developer Nightdive has shared a tentative release window of System Shock Remake. Watch the new videos below.Nightdive has finally announced System Shock Remake is getting released soon! Or probably not. The alpha demo is available now for PC via Steam and GOG. System Shock is in development for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It’s quite wonderful to see a franchise that Warren and I helped create get such loving care.” Now Nightdive is remastering the original System Shock to bring it up to date on modern PC’s – with fully updated visuals, audio and a modern interface-making it dramatically more accessible to modern gamers. They have thrived as a new audience has rediscovered these classics. “The crew at Nightdive heroically brought the original versions of System Shock and System Shock 2 back into circulation. Paul Neurath, Founder of OtherSide Entertainment. There’s scarcely time to think before it unleashes the first terror… Once a prime corporate research facility, Citadel Station now teems with mindless cyborgs, robots and terribly mutated beings, all programmed to serve SHODAN, a ruthless A.I. Where are the surgeons? Why is the station in such disrepair? Slowly, the chilling realization that something is very wrong creeps over you. After six months in a healing coma, you awaken to the twisted aftermath of a terrible disaster. Caught during a risky break-in, you become indentured to a greedy TriOptimum executive. You’re a renowned hacker, the most notorious cyberspace thief in the corporate world. SHODAN demands that you support this so we can all find out.” Now the Nightdive folks are doing that update and I’m confident my prediction will be validated. I’ve long said that if you updated the graphics, sound and UI on System Shock you’d have something that competes directly with any game on the market today. Back when we were working on the original, we wanted to make a simulation-based game that would empower players to tell their own stories through their playstyle choices-an idea that’s still totally relevant today. “When you’re working on a game, you tend not to think about how people will feel about it 20 years later-or if people will even remember it! The announcement of the System Shock update from Nightdive (and the upcoming System Shock 3 I’m working on) it’s apparent that not only do people remember, they care very deeply about the game. With the help of members of the original team, including the original Voice Actor of SHODAN, Terri Brosius, Citadel Station has never been more immersive or terrifying!
