System Shock Remake Launches Next Year, New Screenshots Revealed

Nightdive Studio’s remake of System Shock has been in the works for some time. First announced in 2016, the game was tentatively planned to launch this past summer but will now arrive sometime in 2022.

Unfortunately, Nightdive still hasn’t nailed down an exact release date. Prime Matter, however, announced a deal to publish the game on PC and some other platforms. Taking place on an abandoned space station, the first-person game tasks players with surviving a hostile AI named SHODAN and the dangerous enemies lurking aboard.  It is widely known as the original first-person game of 1994, and it was a major pioneer in narrative-driven action games. 

Nightdive released several new screenshots. You can also view them in the gallery.

An updated playable PC demo for System Shock was released in February, which you can still download on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG. Nightdive bills it as the final demo before the game’s full release. 

While the wait will continue, an update would be better than no updates (unlike System Shock 3). System Shock TV is currently producing a live-action TV program.
