System Shock was released in May 2023 for Windows, to be followed by ports for Linux, macOS, the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The final released game instead focused on being a faithful remake and delivering what the team initially promised in the Kickstarter.

After a successful Kickstarter campaign raised more than $1 million in funding, the game underwent a long development cycle of nearly eight years, being delayed several times as a result of changing to Unreal Engine and restarting development on the game from scratch twice after an ambitious attempt at a reboot for the series was scrapped after excessive feature creep. Assuming the role of a nameless security hacker, the player attempts to hinder the plans of a malevolent artificial intelligence called SHODAN.Ī remake of System Shock began development in 2015, initially developed in the Unity engine. The game is set aboard a space station in a cyberpunk vision of the year 2072. It is a remake of the 1994 game System Shock developed by Looking Glass Studios.

System Shock is an action-adventure game developed by Nightdive Studios and published by Prime Matter.
