Nightdive Teams With Prime Matter For Launch of ‘System Shock’ Remake in 2022
If you’ve been waiting for Nightdive to mention something about their System Shock remake, wonder no more. Today, Nightdive announced that they’re teaming up with publisher Prime Matter to release the long-awaited remake of the 90s sci-fi horror classic on PC and consoles worldwide in 2022.
After teasing fans this past summer with the demo, it appears that the remake will finally see the light of day after being in development for over six years. According to Stephen Kick, founder and CEO of Nightdive Studios, the game has been “a true labour of love” for Nightdive, with the goal to deliver a game “that is as close to perfect as we can make it.”
“We’re excited to partner with Prime Matter to achieve that goal and see this as an important step in the growth of Nightdive Studios. It will allow us to offer System Shock to fans all over the world, both in digital and physical goods formats, as well as fully honour our commitments to our fans and, in particular, to our thousands of supporters on Kickstarter, without whom this game would have never been possible.”
System Shock is available to pre-order now for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store for $44.99, with the demo still available for you to try. As a pre-order bonus, players will receive Nightdive’s upcoming System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition.

Get a Taste of the Action-Packed Terror in the Demo for FPS Shooter ‘BLIGHTEN’ [Trailer]
For those itching for some throwback first-person shooter action, Blight Software has just had a demo released for their upcoming FPS BLIGHTEN. The demo sees you and your squad selected to eliminate the last rebels in the eastern wastes, only to have your slaughtered, and you trapped in a decaying research facility. And you’re not alone.
You’ll explore every room of the facility for resources and weapons in an effort to stay alive. Luckily, you’ll have an extensive arsenal of various firearms at your disposal, from shotguns to assault rifles.
You’ll need them in order to take down the various blight-ridden mutated horrors throughout the mega structure. As one would expect, you’ll need to scrounge for parts and ammo, so make every shot count.
Similar to what players experienced in the early PlayStation classic Alien Trilogy, BLIGHTEN sports hand-drawn enemy sprites and animation in a 3D retro world, creating a unique and dynamic atmosphere while still scratching that throwback itch.
It’s all wrapped up in a dark narrative, where an unseen evil lurks in the shadows of the facility, shaping the horrors around you as you descend deeper into the facility. As you navigate this industrial nightmare, every Blightened creature slain is a grim reminder to what you’ve lost — and the things you’re fighting for.
Look for BLIGHTEN later this year on Steam.
