System Shock remake is coming in 2022, so here's 15 all-new screens

Nightdive is teaming up with Koch Media's new Prime Matter division to bring the game out next year.

This will open up the game to a physical release which is very nice to see! More info and media in the link above.

The System Shock remake we've all been patiently waiting for will arrive in 2022 by way of a partnership between Nightdive Studios and Prime Matter, a division of Koch Media that formed last year. To commemorate the deal, Nightdive has dropped more than a dozen new screens showcasing the dimly lit horrors of Shodan's first adventure.

This is Nightdive's first external publishing deal, and it represents "an important step in the growth of Nightdive Studios," CEO Stephen Kick said. "It will allow us to offer System Shock to fans all over the world, both in digital and physical goods formats, as well as fully honour our commitments to our fans and, in particular, to our thousands of supporters on Kickstarter, without whom this game would have never been possible."

I played the demo a few months back and I hope they've been polishing the combat. I thought it has a lot of potential overall and I'd love for it to turn out great but the combat made it a pass for me for now.

That's great Nightdive but where's Powerslave??

Steam still says 2021, there's only a few days left!

Lol this was exactly my response - can't wait for Powerslave Exhumed. One of the devs is here - wonder if we could trouble them for some insight? 🤔

Night dive is a GOAT studio right now, I'll pay attention to absolutely anything they're involved in

I talked to the head of Nightdive not too long ago and everything got bottleneck either by technical issues or the Quake remaster taking priority.

Visuals continue to remind me of perfect dark zero. But I'm still excited to play this once it hits consoles.
 
Confirmed for PS5/XBS

Oh hell yeah. I tried playing the original over a year ago and couldn't. Too old school for me.

This is the old look. Thankfully they came to their minds and went back to the original demo look and not the generic FPS shooter UE4 look they somehow thought would be a great idea.
awww shit you're right!! i zoomed into the screenshots and noticed the pixelized textures, very happy

And I'm still waiting on Shadowman: Remastered on consoles (which was also promised before the end of 2021, but I've all but lost hope for that).

But this looks great - will grab on Xbox for sure.

You won't be waiting long. Sorry it's taken a while, the console ports really needed the extra work, unless you really wanted 1 minute loading times. :P (And no that's not an exaggeration.)

Hey, thanks for responding! I know the studio has a lot of projects in the pipeline (and I'm interested in most), and I'm sure Covid has majorly impacted things as well. Shadowman just had a huge impact on me in my teen years, and I've seen the reactions to the PC version, so it's hard for me to contain my excitement (probably a good 10% of my posts here the last few months are simping for the remaster lol). You definitely have (at least one) sale from me whenever it's ready!

I really thought this would have released by now. Still looking forward to it but at this point I'm hoping it comes to gamepass given how packed next year is
