With Nightdive’s long-awaited System Shock remake hitting consoles next month with some new updates, PC players are probably wondering when those same updates are headed their way. Wonder no more, as Nightdive has announced that v1.2 of System Shock will arrive on April 11.

The v1.2 System Shock update will add those same enhancements that consoles players will be enjoying, including the addition of a revised ending that upgrades the final confrontation with SHODAN, the ability to play as a female hacker protagonist, enemy AI improvements, a new waypoint system for the Easy Mode difficulty, and additional fixes.

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.

The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of System Shock will arrive on May 21 with a physical and digital release, while the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will be getting a digital-only release. System Shock is currently available on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.

More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
