Players use a combination of stealth, cunning and futuristic weaponry to make their way through Citadel Station’s all-new areas players will encounter traps, puzzles and secrets in their quest to try and save Earth from destruction. From never-before-seen enemies and quality of life gameplay tweaks to a revamped hacking system and visceral new combat options featuring a brutal dismemberment system, the System Shock remake welcomes players new and old back to Citadel Station and the arms of the delightfully villainous SHODAN. 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. We had hoped to bring the game to market by the end of March, but that turned out to be just beyond our reach we are, after all, merely human (unlike Shodan!). The PC edition of System Shock – the fully fledged remake of the ground-breaking original from 1994 – will go on sale on Tuesday, 30 th May 2023 (Wednesday 31 st May AEDT). We shall see soon enough.By Andrew Bistak SYSTEM SHOCK PC RELEASE DATE REVEALED It remains to be seen whether the problems faced over the past six years of development will have hindered the studios’ desire to pay it fair tribute. System Shock is a hugely beloved game, a genuine classic in an era that tosses that phrase around liberally. It’s understandably tough to approach this release with 100% confidence, given the multitude of hurdles it has had to clear en route to fruition. The launch of System Shock will finally put the long development cycle to rest, and will hopefully result in a faithful recreation of one of the genuine classics of the sci-fi/horror genre. A few short in-game clips are featured, but unfortunately, there is no full trailer, which will hopefully be incoming soon. In addition to the release window, developer Prime Matter has released several new images, showcasing the locations, enemies, and weapons that will be encountered by the player as they pick their way through Citadel Station en route to a fateful encounter with the terrifying rogue A.I.: SHODAN.
