Nightdive’s ‘System Shock’ Remake Out Today on PC [Trailer]
No more delays. The eight-year odyssey that was the development of the System Shock remake is over. Nightdive and publisher Prime Matter have announced today that the remake of the 1994 sci-fi cult classic is available now on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. Accompanying the announcement is the customary launch trailer.
The System Shock remake combines the gameplay of the iconic original game with all-new HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and all-new sounds and music. The remake includes never-before-seen enemies, quality-of-life gameplay tweaks, a revamped hacking system, and visceral new combat options, including a brutal dismemberment system.
Also released today is the soundtrack for the remake by Jonathan Peros. You can check it out on Peros’ Bandcamp page.
If that’s not enough, over on GOG.com, they’re offering a free System Shock Goodie pack that contains various arts and assets from the franchise.
The System Shock remake also includes a free copy of the upcoming System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for all early buyers. Console editions of System Shock will release on PlayStation and Xbox consoles (current and previous generation) in due course. More details will be revealed in the future.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
