System Shock is an action-adventure game developed by Nightdive Studios and published by Prime Matter. It is a remake of the 1994 game System Shock developed by Looking Glass Studios. The game is set aboard a space station in a cyberpunk vision of the year 2072. Assuming the role of a nameless security hacker, the player attempts to hinder the plans of a malevolent artificial intelligence called SHODAN.
A remake of System Shock began development in 2015, initially developed in the Unity engine. After a successful Kickstarter campaign raised more than $1 million in funding, the game underwent a long development cycle of nearly eight years, being delayed several times as a result of changing to Unreal Engine and restarting development on the game from scratch twice after an ambitious attempt at a reboot for the series was scrapped after excessive feature creep. The final released game instead focused on being a fairly faithful remake and delivering what the team initially promised in the Kickstarter.
System Shock was released in May 2023 for Windows, to be followed by ports for Linux, macOS, the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game received generally favorable reviews, though some critics were divided on its faithful retention of gameplay elements from the original.
