The remake is using the source code from the original game as a base while also building and improving on the visuals, sound, gameplay, and quality of life improvements.

The System Shock Remake started as a crowdfunded project and now has over $1 million donated to the campaign as of January 2023. This release date seems in line with what the developers were saying back when I got to speak with them, so hopefully fans should finally be able to get their hands on this long-anticipated remake for real this time. I’ve been anticipating this one for a while, after getting to play the System Shock Remake last year at PAX West. This has also given us time to go back and polish various aspects of the game that needed that extra shine.” The scope and scale of the project has evolved dramatically and with Prime Matter joining the project it’s enabled us to focus on quality-of-life improvements, bug fixing, and localization support – the last major steps towards releasing a game we’re all incredibly proud of. “As some of you have already pointed out this is not our first time announcing a tentative launch window, but over the past few years much has changed.

In a statement last week, developer NightDive Studios said: After being in development for almost seven years, the developers of the System Shock Remake have announced that they’re confident the game will be launching in March of this year.
