Nightdive Studios announced in late January that pre-orders for the System Shock remake would be coming in late February. That time is now here, as players can now pre-order the game. Furthermore, they announced that it will launch sometime in late summer. You can pre-purchase the game on Steam, GOG, or the Epic store. Don’t forget that those who pre-order also get System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for free! They also stated that the game will come to Amazon Luna as well. Additionally, the developers have released a brand new trailer and their final demo. We’ll get to the demo’s new features in a moment, but first here is the brand new trailer:
The final demo is available on all of the digital storefronts mentioned above. It includes the new Cyberspace level, new audio logs, new SHODAN audio, and more! Here is the full list from their post:

As with last month’s news update, Nightdive Studios once again posted on their Kickstarter and BackerKit pages. They posted some new images again this time as well.
For fans of the original System Shock games, the remake is just a handful of months away. While System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition has not released yet to those who’ve pre-ordered the remake, you can at least jump into the demo to get your fix for the time being. You can find out more about that enhanced edition of the second game from the previous announcement. You can also head over to their official website for other information and stretch goals progress.
