Night Dive Studios has announced that its upcoming remaster for System Shock will be renamed to just System Shock (instead of System Shock Remastered). In addition, Night Dive Studios revealed that its Kickstarter campaign will be launched next week, alongside a demo for this remaster.
As Night Dive Studios’ Stephen Kick told Polygon:
“We felt that the amount of passion and resources that we are putting into this game elevated it beyond the expectations that someone would have for a remaster. This is a full-fledged reboot of a classic game into something new.”
The Kickstarter campaign for System Shock will be launched on June 28th.
And as for its demo, it will be made available to anyone through Steam, GOG and Humble the same day that the Kickstarter opens.
Stay tuned for more!

Good, now it seems appropriately named. It is indeed a remake or a reboot not a remaster.
Will definitely try the demo!
Cant wait 🙂 I’ll finally see whats the fuzz about. It all sounds good on paper !
too difficult everything is hardcoded in the game, the fan made way is the best you will ever get.
“System Shock is a game desperately in need of a “Tomb Raider Anniversary” style remaster, but Night Dive has apparently said “screw that noise” :(”
That is exactly what it is, did you even look at the screenshots?
Anniversary was more than a visual overhaul; the entire game was reworked with more complex layouts, puzzles and everything larger/spaced apart to evoke a stronger sense of scale. In essence, Anniversary was like a Director’s Cut version of the game mixed with a graphics change.
This is bullshit, Why is the gaming industry obsessed with reusing the names of previous releases, gamers ignore there bullshit naming and the media answer is even more insulting.
adding Classic to the old game. NO add Modern or the year made to the new one
System Shock is the original game, call this anything they want, but that name is already taken, and I refuse to rename the old one, to massage these new developers egos.
Tomb Raider is the original, Tomb Raider [2013] is the name of the remake.
I’m sick of this stealing of the original names, I don’t care how good it may be, the original will be always called System Shock. I’ve had enough of this crap, from now on all games that steal an originals name will be labelled as such.
This will be forever listed on my PC, and posts as:
System Shock – Name Thief
So now, I’ll call the 2013 TR, Tomb Raider – Name Thief as well.
