The latest System Shock Reboot was recently noted for a console release from the ESRB. The ESRB also mentioned that the reboot will be coming to the previous consoles as well as the current ones. Despite a clear confirmation that the game is coming to consoles, there has been no release date revealed.
The 2023 System Shock remake was released on May 30, and is currently on PC platforms including Windows, Linux, and Mac. On Metacritic, the game is rated at 78 which is considered generally favorable. KeenGamer has also reviewed the game, and praised Nightdive Studio’s personal update on this ’90s cult classic.
This System Shock reboot is based on the 1994 original version that was made by Looking Glass Studios. The original game was a cyberpunk first-person shooter that was an alternative to Doom and had an emphasis of being a sophisticated game.
