System Shock VR officially announced

System Shock is a PC classic. Originally released back in 1994, this first-person immersive sim has been re-released on multiple occasions – publishing an enhanced edition in 2015 and a full on remake in 2023. Furthering the reach and scope of the series, System Shock’s remake is now set to be ported to VR.

Making the announcement as part of the latest VR Games Showcase, Nightdive Studios and Flat2VR revealed that the excellent System Shock remake will be getting a comprehensive VR port.

As of now, details on the project remain light, with the only confirmed facts being that it will arrive for SteamVR, Meta Quest and PSVR2 at some point in the future.

That said, based on the trailer released, it can be gleaned that the VR port will offer full movement alongside direct control of your character’s appendages – allowing for freeform aiming, crouching, peeking around corners and more.

For the uninitiated, Flat2VR have ported tons of different ‘flat’ games into VR, including but not limited to Roboquest and FlatOUT 4 – with many more on the way (such as Postal, I Am Your Beast, High on Life and the aforementioned System Shock).

System Shock is already a highly immersive, tense and atmospheric experience, and so it will be exciting to have all of these elements amplified tenfold while in VR.
