Ordeal of System Shock Remake Fans is Coming to an End After 8 Years
Nothing is likely to get in the way of the remake of the iconic System Shock anymore. The developers have announced that the game has been completed and is just waiting for release.
Nightdive Studios, together with Prime Matter, have delivered good news for gamers eagerly awaiting the release of the remake of System Shock. Work on the game has been completed, which means that it should hit the market as planned, i.e. on May 30, 2023..
"The wait is (almost) over. PC Edition of System Shock - a full-fledged remake of the groundbreaking 1994 original - will be released on May 30 this year.
We had hoped to launch the game by the end of March, but it turned out to be beyond our reach; after all, we're only human (unlike Shodan!)," reads an excerpt from the announcement published on Steam.
Making things a little more specific - the release of the game announced eight years ago has been repeatedly postponed. The work of Nightdive Studios was originally scheduled to debut back in 2017. The developers made System Shock wit for a really long time.
