With a release that is still marked as a mysterious summer of 2021 that is now time to begin to solve, System Shock returns to show how development has progressed since that demo that the good people of Nightdive Studios delivered at the beginning of the year.
Hand in hand with a seven-minute trailer that serves to get an idea of how much the title has changed, the announcement also warms our noses by ensuring that those who pre-purchase the game will receive the improved version of System Shock for free. 2 that will land at the end of the year.
Converted into a cult game for having been one of the first that brought two worlds as far apart as that of FPS and RPG, System Shock has also gone down in the annals of history for having served as an inspiration to the Bioshock franchise.
A multitude of weapons with different ammunition and effects, the exploration of a setting that is more protagonist than the avatar we control, a rich and twisted story with more to say than it really tells … It sure sounds like something to you .
There are few reasons to give it a try in this new format if you haven’t already done it with the classic versions. And it is that both this and the second installment, in which Ken Levine worked long before jumping to Rapture, are two of those jewels that yes or yes you have to try.
