A demo arrived in February with a view to a summer 2021 release, but all went quiet until now. It suffered some setbacks in the years that followed, and it’d be 2020 before we’d get something substantial with the release of new videos. The remake of the classic 1994 Looking Glass FPS has been in development for quite some time, following a successful Kickstarter in 2016.

Kick said the deal would “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.” We’re excited to partner with Prime Matter to achieve that goal and see this as an important step in the growth of Nightdive Studios.” “System Shock has been a true labour of love and our goal has always been to deliver a game that is as close to perfect as we can make it. In a press release, Nightdive CEO and founder Stephen Kick gave a statement on the move.

Publisher Prime Matter has announced it’s partnering with Nightdive Studios to help release the upcoming System Shock remake in 2022.
