Fans will also be able to get a free copy of System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition upon release when they pre-order the remake. Alongside this announcement, there's also been a slew of new screenshots that have been released, just to whet people's appetites. Sadly, there is no indication of an exact date, but with developer, Nightdive Studios, partnering with publishers, Prime Matter, things are starting to move forward again. Since the sequel in 1999, fans have been clamoring for a new entry, and while a remake is currently being worked on, word is finally spreading about a general release date.Īccording to a report from PC Gamer, the remake of the original System Shock from 1994 will finally be coming out next year. It's generally considered to be one of the best sci-fi games of the 1990s, with gameplay mechanics, story, and a memorable antagonist that made it way ahead of its time. Ask a bunch of older gamers to name some of the most classic, perhaps even the most influential, PC games of the 90s and it won't be long until someone mentions System Shock, possibly in the same breath as Doom or Half-Life.
