At the time, the game had an estimated delivery date of December 2017. Release dates for Linux, macOS, PlayStation 4. Nightdive’s Kickstarter campaign to create a ground-up remake of the original 1994 System Shock launched on June 28 2016, originally targeting $900,000 (£677k) in crowdfunding and eventually attracting $1,350,700 (£1.02m) from backers. It was announced in November 2015, developed by Nightdive Studios, and released on Windows on 30th May 2023. With Nightdive helming the project - who are notorious for faithfully restoring some of the best classics in gaming history - were sure the wait will be worth it. It also provided a selection of screenshots, including of the Grove Dome which it describes as “one of the largest assets in the game”, and an Avian Mutant, an enemy type that was almost cut from the game until Nightdive “decided it was important to have an enemy that introduced verticality to the combat, specifically in the Grove levels”.Īn update to the System Shock remake demo is also planned, which will “include full dismemberment across all enemies along with updated AI, new behaviours, new animations and hit reactions, updated weapon FX as well as numerous bug fixes and performance optimizations.” System Shocks remake still does not have a release date, but a demo has been available for some time and the game is available for pre-purchase for £31.99 GBP/44.99 USD. Diving into the actual material update, the studio said it is “working on the final polish for the enemies, weapons, levels, and cinematics”.
