Latest ‘System Shock’ Update Shows Off More Pre-Alpha Goodness
In their latest Kickstarter update, Nightdive Studios has given fans of the upcoming System Shock remake who missed out on the game’s pre-alpha demo during The Game Festival (luckily, we didn’t) a bit of a consolation with a streaming of the demo.
Along with the stream, the update also shows off the progress in the art, which features more concept art alongside progress on the Protoborgs, which were originally shown back in August.
As Andrew noted in his preview, the demo does have a few issues in the form of bugs (along with the gamma settings), but those can be ironed out in time. Hopefully in the next update, we get some of the more gory goodness that SHODAN had left in the corridors of Citadel Station.
The System Shock remake is due out in this year for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
GSC Game World will be bringing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl fans the first expansion next month when “Cost of Hope” launches on August 20. The release will coincide with a new 2.0 update for the game. The devs will release more info on the expansion and the update in the coming weeks.
In Cost of Hope, players once again step into the role of Skif — the protagonist of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl — as a mysterious PDA signal draws him into events unfolding alongside the main game’s story. Players will explore uncharted locations, encounter unexpected allies and enemies, discover powerful weapons, and experience a new story. With dozens of hours of content, your choices will shape the future of the Zone in this major new chapter of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. saga.
Launching in line with Cost of Hope will be a “massive” Update 2.0 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Available as a free update to all owners of the game, the update will upgrade the game to a new version of Unreal Engine 5, as well as bring a variety of new content and improvements.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl will launch for PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.com, the Xbox Series and PlayStation 5.
