Originally scheduled to release in March, the upcoming remake of System Shock will instead launch two months later on PC, arriving on May 30. According to publisher Plaion, the March launch window wasn’t within reach, hence the long-in-development game being rescheduled to the end of May.
“We had hoped to bring the game to market by the end of March,” Plaion explained on the Steam page for System Shock. “But that turned out to be just beyond our reach. We are after all merely human, unlike Shodan!”
The remake of the cult-classic 1994 game includes upgraded visuals, enhanced music, and new enemies to tangle with, as well as an overhauled hacking system and even a dismemberment system that looks like it was inspired by Dead Space’s gory gameplay.
