Production was then restarted and a release window was set for 2021, then moved to 2022. The studio then went into hiatus until 2018, after raising close to $1M to make the game. After all, Nightdive Studios had previously announced the remake back in 2016 after acquiring the rights from Looking Glass Studios. I wish developers would just specify a quarter of the year.One might be tempted to take this announcement with a healthy dose of skepticism. The System Shock remake will launch in “Summer” which for everyone in the Southern hemisphere means Q3… I think. We’re talking real-time lighting, re-recorded audio, a dismemberment mechanic, enemy rebalancing, dynamic music and entirely new areas and puzzles that never made it into the original game. If you pre-purchase System Shock it also comes with a copy of System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition, as if you needed another incentive.īy all accounts, the remake of System Shock looks like a tremendous improvement over the original game it should be considering the first System Shock is over twenty years old. The demo will be arriving on consoles at some point in the future, but if you’re a PC player who really enjoyed your test drive, you’ll be able to purchase the game on both the EGS and Steam for R245. I’m not entirely sure how long the demo is but I’d hazard a guess that it could be roughly two hours. Players can access the demo on either Steam or the Epic Games Store and it will allow users to experience some early parts of the game as a hacker just trying to survive upon a crumbling space station that has succumbed to the will of a tyrannical AI.
