Nightdive Studios goes beyond remastering classic games with its upcoming System Shock remake. The immersive sim promises to retain its roots while incorporating modern twists, ensuring it appeals to new and existing fans alike. The studio's dedication to restoring classic games is evident in its portfolio, which includes Doom 64 and Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, among others. The future of the System Shock franchise looks brighter than ever, with Nightdive considering exploring the universe further in different genres, as well, such as creating an XCOM-like game.
System Shock returns with a cyberpunk universe, immersive detail, and terrifying SHODAN voiced by Terri Brosius. Clunky combat and inconsistent checkpointing may pose a challenge for new players, but the overall design and writing make it worth the experience. A retelling of the beloved classic, System Shock pays its respects while offering more fleshed-out details for fans and newcomers alike.
