“Code complete: systems online.” Prime Matter has announced that System Shock, Nightdive’s ambitious remake of LookingGlass’ 1994 action-adventure classic, has gone gold and is ready for digital release on May 30, 2023 for Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. Developed alongside many members of the original team, including the voice of SHODAN herself, Terri Brosius, System Shock promises to deliver the same great gameplay as the original but with a number of modern upgrades, including HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, never-before-seen enemies, and more. The PC edition of System Shock, which includes a free copy of the upcoming System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition, is available to pre-order now, while the console editions of System Shock will release on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X in “due course.”

From a Prime Matter press release:

In 21 days, players will be treated to developer Nightdive Studio’s stunningly-faithful recreation of the classic shooter/immersive sim — launching digitally for Windows PC on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store on May 30, 2023, at 08:00 PDT/17:00 CEST.

The System Shock remake combines the cult gameplay of the iconic original game with all-new HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and all-new sounds and music. Never-before-seen enemies, quality-of-life gameplay tweaks, a revamped hacking system, and visceral new combat options featuring a brutal dismemberment system also await players new and old.

A legion of hostile and mutated creatures — created and controlled by the delightfully villainous SHODAN herself — await players as they make their way through Citadel Station’s all-new areas, flexing their puzzle-solving skills and hacking prowess to reach new sectors of the station.

Players will also encounter traps, puzzlesand secrets in their pursuit of (hopefully) defeating SHODAN once and for all. A combination of stealth, cunning, and futuristic weaponry will be required to survive. When the System Shock remake arrives, players’ puzzle-solving and survival skills will be put to the test.
