The System Shock remake isn't Night Dive's first encounter with the IP, either they are the studio behind the System Shock: Enhanced Edition remaster that was released at GOG a few months ago. ' To really do another game in that series is going to take resources and time and commitment that we don't have, and it's really not our core business,' explained Larry Kuperman, Night Dive's head of business development despite this, he says that the company is ' having some conversations' with larger publishers to see if they can find the help they need to get a new sequel made.

It is slated to launch on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One at a later date.Speaking with Fast Company, Night Dive CEO Stephen Kick revealed that the studio now had the full rights to System Shock this not only allows the company to work on a PC and console remake of the title, but may eventually lead to the development of a proper System Shock 3 as well. System Shock is launching on May 30th for PC via Steam, GOG, and EGS. But the time is approaching when we can all arctic onboard the Citadel Station and fight for our lives! It has been a long time coming, with its original Kickstarter initiating the project over 7 years ago.

If you’re curious about how the remake plays, you can check out the free demo on Steam for yourself. Currently, players can pre-order the game via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store for $39.99. Although the game is planning on coming to both last-gen and current-gen systems, there is no word on when the console launch may be. PC fans will have first dibs on the remake with a planned console launch announcement at a later date. The other catch is that it will not launch on all platforms simultaneously. Initially planned for a March release, the studio has finally dedicated itself to a specific launch date. Prime Matter and Nightdive Studios have officially announced that their highly anticipated remake of the cult classic System Shock has been delayed until the end of May.
