The System Shock remake has been in development since its initial Kickstarter launch back in 2016 and looks like it’s almost ready for release. To ensure this reboot is as true to the original as possible, Nightdive has been collaborating with the original developers of System Shock 1 to understand what they would do differently in order to refresh a classic in ways Looking Glass Studios would have. System Shock is a faithful reboot of the genre-defining classic from 1994 built by a team of industry veterans. Players must engage these enemies, solve puzzles, and utilize their arsenal of sci-fi weaponry and tools on their mission to thwart SHODAN and its homicidal plans. Enemies, which are a fusion of flesh and steel, stalk the hallways, hellbent on carrying out their master’s sadistic will. We are then shown an exterior view of Citadel Station, and then the dark, electronically lit corridors within. The trailer begins with SHODAN talking about being disgusted by humans interfacing with computers for their own entertainment and declaring that it is humanity’s new god.

The new trailer is fittingly narrated by SHODAN (Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network), the main antagonist of the original game. In System Shock, you take on the role of a resourceful hacker as you explore and survive the terrors of Citadel Station brought on by a rogue AI named SHODAN. Developer Nightdive Studios released a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming remake of System Shock during Gamescom 2022.
