Nightdive Studios has confirmed its long-in-the-works System Shock remake will finally launch this summer, and, to give players a taste of its enhanced action, a new demo launches today.
It's been a long and eventful road for the System Shock remake, which was originally intended to be a remaster of Looking Glass Technologies' classic first-person sci-fi horror before ballooning in scope. By the time its Kickstarter commenced in July 2016, it was being referred to as a "reboot" and, after a rocky period of development, Nightdive announced it was putting the project on hiatus after letting "things get out of control".
Despite those rough few years, Nightdive eventually managed to get the project back on track – albeit by essentially restarting with more focussed goals – and development's been steadily ticking forward ever since, with the studio providing frequent updates on its progress.
