Cyberpunk Horror Classic ‘System Shock’ Turns 25, Nightdive Releasing Physical Big Box Version And Soundtrack

Yesterday was a momentous occasion for System Shock. The game celebrated its 25th anniversary, and to celebrate, Nightdive Studios (the current rights holder) held a livestream with the game’s producer Warren Spector, designer Tim Stellmach, and the voice of Shodan herself, Terri Brosius.

That’s not all, however. You may recall that Nightdive last year pushed out an enhanced version of the cyberpunk classic. Well, for those who love physical copies (and in particular, classic big box PC games), Nightdive has announced that they’ve teamed up with Limited Run Games to do just that.

No release date has been announced for this new physical edition of System Shock, but the box will feature some sweet redesigned artwork. In addition, Limited Run Games will also be selling the soundtrack to the original by Greg LoPiccolo and Tim Ries in a new two-LP set.

Of course, the remake of System Shock is still being worked on by Nightdive, which is expected for release in 2020.

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
