Even if System Shock Remastered does launch this year, Night Dive also have Strife: Veteran Edition hitting the Switch soon, an enhanced version of the Blade Runner adventure game, and the remasters of SiN and Kingpin, all out next year. The studio’s certainly keeping themselves busy. Either way, you can muck around with the Alpha demo over at GOG or Steam. The System Shock remake is supposedly still due out this year, although with COVID and how everything’s unfolded, I’d still be expecting a 2021 release.

In short, Night Dive’s basically rebuilt a convincing little version of Descent or Terminal Velocity, with the player basically navigating through a series of small, neon-lit corridors. The developers premiered a video this week highlighting cyberspace for the first time, showcasing what the game’s visualisation of their internet (or intranet?) looks like.
