It seems that the highly anticipated System Shock remake looks set to finally release in March this year. Happy days!

As spotted by Pure Xbox, the March release window was revealed in a recent Kickstarter update by developers, Nightshade Studios. The System Shock remake was first announced back in 2016, so it’s been a patient wait indeed.

“After our return from Gamescom we’ve been hesitant to share anything so as not to spoil any remaining surprises we have in store,” read the KS update. “However, we’ve picked a few last things to share before our quickly approaching launch window of March 2023.”

The post continued: “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.”

Prior to the announcement of this remake, 2007s BioShock was considered to be System Shock’s spiritual successor. Alas, many years later, we’re finally getting the real deal.

The System Shock remake will be released for PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Are you looking forward to System Shock? Let us know across our social media channels.
