It’s actually pretty amazing what 17 years of graphical improvements can do to a game. The video is linked, so you can see for yourself what the remake will look like when you get your hands on it. And it shows a pretty even slice of the game, with bits of everything from shooting mutants to the puzzle bits. For a bit of history, the story of System Shock saw the protagonist, a hacker, waking up in a space station called Citadel Station. The space station is controlled by an AI known as SHODAN which had its moral restraints removed, and developed a god complex as a result.

As mentioned, the game is slated for release this year, but with no specific date beyond the summer window. It will be available on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. Pre-ordering will also get you System, Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for free when it gets released. (Source: Nightdive Studios / YouTube, Steam, EGS, GOG)
