The new System Shock will be a full-fledged reboot of the classic – not a simple remake.
With a Kickstarter campaign, they want to finance the final developments of the new System Shock. The game started under the project name “System Shock Remastered” but has now been renamed to “System Shock” because it is not just a kind of refresh of the game, but a full-fledged reboot of the classic from 1994.
First Gameplay Scenes Released
The Kickstarter campaign, where backers have the opportunity to purchase a collector’s edition with a physical copy of the game, has now launched. Along with the start of the campaign, a demo version will also be released, which is supposed to be available on the Humble Store, Steam, and GOG. Among other things, the user interface has been redesigned in the new version to make it more player-friendly.

For graphics, they brought Robb Waters on board, who was not only involved in the original System Shock but also took over the design for BioShock and BioShock Infinite. Microsoft also shows great interest in the new System Shock and is helping the development team to develop the game for the Xbox One. The developers have not announced a specific release date yet. So far, it is only confirmed that the new System Shock is supposed to be released in 2017 for PC and Xbox One.
We have already reported that a new part of the series, System Shock 3, is already in planning.
