‘System Shock’ Remake Coming to PC on May 30
In spite of the release window announced back in January, Night Dive Studios has today announced that we’ll finally be seeing the long-awaited remake of System Shock on PC on May 30. In the press release, Night Dive acknowledged that they had intended the game to be released in March, but it turns out that it was “beyond [their] reach”.
Curiously though, the developer only announced the launch date for the PC version of the System Shock remake, and not the consoles. According to Night Dive, the release date of the PlayStation and Xbox versions of System Shock will be announced “in due course,” with more details coming at a later date.
Needless to say, it’s been a long time coming for the remake, which has been in development since 2015. The expectations are high (as one would assume), but from what we’ve seen so far from the various demos, it looks very promising. In fact, you can check out the latest demo for System Shock on your respective platform’s storefront.
System Shock is available to pre-order now for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, and includes a free copy of the upcoming System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition. The game will also be releasing on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, and the Xbox One.
Path Games provided an update for its in-development underwater haunted house title Dark Mass, revealing that the game will receive a physical release for PlayStation 5 as both a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition. The reveal also coincides with a new trailer that delves into the gameplay.
Dark Mass sees players take on the role of Alice, a deep-sea explorer who, alongside her brother Reed, stumbles upon the wreckage of an ancient ship. But beneath the ship lies they discover a manor lost to time, eerily untouched despite spending centuries in the ocean.
Alice decides to venture inside, but she soon realises that something is watching from the darkness, bound to the manor by a dark curse. Trapped within the manor’s decaying halls, Alice must now uncover the manor’s tragic past, solve puzzles based on real historical torture rituals, and make decisions that will ultimately define her fate.
Both the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition will be published by SelectaPlay, with the Collector’s Edition having been designed “for horror fans and collectors,” bringing together a selection of physical items inspired by Alice’s journey, the mystery of the sunken manor and the unsettling atmosphere of the abyss.
The Standard Edition includes a physical copy of the game, along with an illustrated manual. Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition includes the physical copy and manual, along with the following:
- Collector’s Box
- Official Art Book
- Lenticular postcard
- Alice’s turtle bracelet
- Original Soundtrack in Digipack format
- Exclusive Steelbook
In addition to the PlayStation 5, Dark Mass will be coming to the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The game is currently aiming for a fall 2026 release.
