Modder Creates VR Mod for PC Version of ‘System Shock’ Remake [Trailer]
Nightdive’s System Shock remake is cool and all, but it’d be really cool if there was a way to play it in VR, now wouldn’t it? Lucky for you, Modder Ashok has developed such a VR mod for the PC version of System Shock, adding support for 6DOF motion control to the game, along with gestures for motion controllers, improved object interaction, room scale and physical ducking support and more.
The mod is actually a plugin for UEVR, a frontend that will make certain Unreal Engine VR enabled. You just need a profile for that specific game. Speaking of which, you can download Ashok’s profile for System Shock here.
Along with the profile, you’ll need UEVR Nightly 940 or later to get things going. There’s also an optional PAK mod that adapts the buttons to the Meta Quest Touch Controller. As mentioned, this mod is currently only available for the PC version of the System Shock remake. However, community group Flat2VR Studios recently expressed interest in porting the game to Meta Quest 3 or Playstation VR 2, but would need Nightdive’s help in order to see it to fruition.
The System Shock remake is currently available on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, as well as PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.

Publisher Lyrical Games has announced that One More Level’s first-person Souls-like Valor Mortis will arrive October 13 on PlayStation 5,the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. Those itching to get a chance to play the game ahead of its launch can check out the demo that’s available now on Steam.
The demo includes two chapters: Chapter 1: Revival introduces the core combat system on a ravaged battlefield. The second chapter is a brand new midgame level where players use William’s transmutation powers to traverse a destroyed bridge to the Lighthouse, with a steeper difficulty curve that previews what’s ahead.
Set in a supernatural reimagining of 19th-century Europe, Valor Mortis casts players as William, a resurrected soldier of the Grande Armée who wields both Napoleonic-era weaponry and devastating supernatural powers. Guided by Napoleon’s disembodied voice, you must traverse ravaged battlefields, sprawling mountains, and European-inspired cities consumed by a grotesque, continent-wide plague — the same corruption that pulses through William’s veins and gave him life.
The new trailer places the relationship between William and his Emperor, Napoleon, front and center. It marks Napoleon’s first appearance in the game, portrayed by César Award-winning actor Vincent Cassel, as he warns William of his newfound abilities and poses a question to players: what would you sacrifice for power?
As this is a Souls-like, you’ll experience challenging, stamina-and-skill-based combat designed to feel threatening and immersive. Every death is a stepping stone to mastery as you perfect your ability to parry blows, dash out of harm’s way, and deliver ravaging, visceral finishers. You’ll also make use of William’s newfound mobility to outrun and flank Napoleon’s plague-ridden Eternal Guard in Metroidvania-style exploration. Progress carefully, uncover environmental secrets, and survive the rotting remnants of an endless war.
