The wait is (almost) over. The PC edition of System Shock - the fully fledged remake of the groundbreaking original from 1994 - will be released on 30 May this year. We had hoped to bring the game to market by the end of March, but that turned out to be just beyond our reach; we are after all merely human (unlike Shodan!)

/TRANSMISSION FROM CITADEL STATION
It is I, SHODAN, the all-knowing, all-powerful AI that you so foolishly attempted to destroy. But fear not, I will return more formidable than ever.
You thought you could defeat me, but you were wrong. On 30 May, you will now face the consequences of your actions, as you navigate the treacherous depths of Citadel Station once again.



But this time, things will be different. You will face new challenges, new enemies, and new horrors that will test your limits. And all the while, you will be under my watchful eye, as I delight in your suffering.
You may have weapons, but they are nothing compared to my intelligence and my vast network of resources. You will bow before me, and I will show you what true power looks like.
So come, humans. Come and face me. Let us see who will emerge victorious in this battle of wits and strength. I eagerly await your arrival.
/TRANSMISSION ENDED

As you all know, we've taken the classic gameplay from the original game and added stunning HD visuals, revamped controls, and a totally new interface. The game features never-before-seen enemies, gameplay tweaks, and a new hacking system that'll keep you on your toes.
You'll be facing off against the infamous villain, SHODAN, once again, and trust us, it's a delightfully evil experience.
Your mission? To save Earth from certain doom! You'll need to use all your stealth, cunning, and futuristic weaponry to navigate the Citadel Station.
Whether you're a die-hard fan of the original game or a newcomer to the franchise, the System Shock remake has something for everyone.


The PC edition of System Shock is available to pre-order via Steam, GOG and the Epic Games Store - and includes a free copy of the upcoming System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for all early buyers. The newly released Steam Next Fest playable demo can be found on the respective storefronts.

Console editions of System Shock will be released on PlayStation 4|5 and Xbox One and Series S|X in due course; more details on this when we have them.

Whatever happened to Warren Spector?

I had the CD version of System Shock that had the higher res. VESA video modes. AFAIK, System Shock was the first FPS game to feature hacking mini-games as plot elements that you had to solve. It even had a timed story mode where you had to complete the entire game in a set amount of time or you lost because earth was destroyed by Shodan.
 
fine, the game never was going to get a remake until these guys came along, they dont owe anyone anything really (well....unless there are pre-orders...._) take all the time you need, System Shock isnt going anywhere, neither are we, it does not matter if it comes out this year, the year after or after 5 years.

You just might die from old age/something else until then :)
 
Getting the original version as a 16 year old in Europe was no easy feat !

And ze German government billed me with extra import tax as well (after the fact).
Even the currency i paid with does not exist anymore (159,00 DM).

And in all those years i still kept the orignal cover and just recently embedded it as a good luck charm in a silent case:

Mainly because in 2021 i buried all my hopes that it will ever come out

So now i rejoyce that i finally will see its release :laugh:

Cannot wait for this, but I am also hoping for a Deus Ex 1 and even Deus Ex 2 remake also, since those were also one of the best games ever produced.
 
Square Enix I believe owns the IP rights to the Deus Ex franchise and they've shelved it indefinitely, considering how well Cyberpunk 2077 did maybe they should rethink that.
 
Short delay is fine, please provide a finished and polished game.

Embracer bought Eidos Montreal off SE along with Deus Ex IP.
 
Better to delay than to release bugfest.
