‘System Shock’ Remake Has Gone Gold, Will Launch May 30 on PC
Much like the wait for Dead Island 2, the journey for Nightdive’s long-in-development System Shock remake is almost over. The developer has announced today that the remake of the 1994 classic (which started development back in 2015) has gone gold, meaning that the game will be ready for its May 30 launch on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
Pre-ordering the PC version will also net you a copy of Nightdive’s upcoming System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition.
As for the console version of System Shock, Nightdive still has not announced when the game will arrive, though more details are expected “in the future” for the PlayStation and Xbox releases.
The story for the game takes place in the year 2072. You are a nameless hacker, and you’ve been caught while attempting to access files concerning Citadel Station, a space station owned by the TriOptimum Corporation. However, in exchange for the dropping of all charges (and a military grade neural implant), you are tasked with hacking SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls the station. After hacking SHODAN, removing the AI’s ethical constraints, you are given the implants and put into a healing coma. You wake up six months later on board Citadel, and all hell has broken loose.
The System Shock remake combines the cult gameplay of the iconic original game with all-new HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and all-new sounds and music. Never-before-seen enemies, quality-of-life gameplay tweaks, a revamped hacking system, and visceral new combat options featuring a brutal dismemberment system also await players new and old.
