Arriving October 26, the update will coincide with a Steam and Epic Games Store sale from October 26 – November 2 that includes a 20% discount for the Early Access game, as well as the release of the Official Soundtrack on Spotify.

The Halloween update includes the introduction of new Trial ‘Program 4: Courthouse’ and new Weekly Programs for The Outlast Trials, as well as additional MK-Challenges, and Program Geister; a limited-time Halloween event that includes special rewards. Subjects can also anticipate new Amps, Variators, Prescriptions, Cosmetics, Cell Items, and a Sleep Room Minigame, as well as numerous quality-of-life enhancements.

Alongside the updates and improvements, the team also addressed other areas of the game:

  • Penalising group players not participating in Trials
  • Improve the Trial selection process as a group
  • Keep improving the solo experience
  • Keep improving the AI behaviour in some edge case situations

‘System Shock’ Remake Now Available on PlayStation, Xbox [Trailer]

The long wait for console owners to play Nightdive’s System Shock remake is finally over. Almost a year to the day the remake of the iconic 1994 FPS was released on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, System Shock is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.

“For the first time ever, the incredible world of System Shock is available to console gamers,” said Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios. “We’re so excited to introduce our take on this pioneering piece of gaming history to a whole new audience.”

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of System Shock have a physical and digital release, while the last-gen versions will be digital-only.

System Shock 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.

If you’re still on the fence of diving into System Shock, check out Harrison’s review, who stated that Nightdive “have absolutely achieved what they set out to do” in regards to updating and bringing the game to a modern audience.
