‘System Shock’ Remake Eyeing March 2023 Release
Nightdive’s System Shock remake looks and sounds good, but the question that’s constantly being asked (and hasn’t been answered) is just when it’ll be released. Nightdive has said that we’d be able to enter Citadel Station sometime this year, but according to the game’s listing on Steam, that might not be the case.
Spotted by Wario64, System Shock‘s Steam page now lists the game as releasing in “March 2023“. Obviously, things can and do change, but this is already more specific than a nebulous 2022 release date. Furthermore, despite Nightdive saying that the game would see a 2022 release, the Gamescom trailer never did mention that date. The last time 2022 was mentioned was when Nightdive announced that they had teamed with publisher Prime Matter for distribution, but that was back in December.
If System Shock does release in March, it’d have some big company in the Resident Evil 4 remake, which is set to arrive March 24 on PC and consoles. And for a game that’s been in the works for since 2015, going up against Capcom’s beloved Resident Evil series is certainly a big risk to be taking.
Regardless, System Shock is available to pre-order now for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, and will also be releasing on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, and the Xbox One.

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
