SYSTEM SHOCK: ALL SYSTEMS ACTIVE

The award-winning System Shock remake, based on the iconic 1994 sci-fi action game is coming to consoles on 21 May 2024,  featuring an expanded ending, a new female hacker protagonist and more!

Nightdive Studios’ stunningly faithful recreation of the classic shooter/immersive sim was released to critical acclaim in 2023 on PC. Soon, console players will go toe-to-toe with SHODAN — the original rogue AI with evil intent — on PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series X|S as they explore the dark depths of Citadel Station and singlehandedly try and save Earth from destruction.
