System Shock Remake gets Spring 2023 release date

The System Shock Remake by Nightdive Studios has had a tumultuous development, with the title first hitting Kickstarter nearly 7 years ago. That said, it seems as though the game is finally ready for release, with the studio announcing that fans will be able to get their hands on this much-anticipated title in just a few short months.

Releasing an update through Kickstarter, Nightdive Studios announced the finalised release window for System Shock, saying “Welcome to a New Year, Hackers. After our return from Gamescom we’ve been hesitant to share anything so as not to spoil any remaining surprises we have in store. However, we’ve picked a few last things to share before our quickly approaching launch window of March, 2023.”

Addressing concerns from fans regarding previous unfulfilled release window announcements, the team said:

“As some of you have already pointed out this is not our first time announcing a tentative launch window, but over the past few years much has changed – the scope and scale of the project has evolved dramatically and with Prime Matter joining the project it’s enabled us to focus on quality-of-life improvements, bug fixing, and localization support – the last major steps towards releasing a game we’re all incredibly proud of. This has also given us time to go back and polish various aspects of the game that needed that extra shine.”

As mentioned, the System Shock remake was announced all the way back in 2016 and was initially planned to release in 2018. This was then pushed to 2020, and now finally March 2023. With fans having to wait so long for this remake to come out, hopefully when it does release it is worth the wait.
