You can check out the game running on Unreal Engine 4 in the new pre-alpha trailer below. The development hit a snag in 2018 and was put on hold. The journey to the remake has been challenging, with its Kickstarter campaign starting in June 2016. System Shock is a classic action-adventure game first launched in 1994, spawning a sequel, a full remake in 2023, and inspiring the likes of BioShock. The game is a reboot of the classic System Shock, developed in 1994 by Looking Glass Studios. “We didn’t make this decision lightly, and wanted to be sure we could do the game justice with this engine shift,” Fader concluded. Systems Shock is a soon-to-be-released first-person action-adventure game by Nightdive Studios. That was back in August, with the internal decision to make the switch to Unreal made in October. While Unity is a great engine, it was clear that we needed to use an engine that fit our project goals more closely,” explained Fader on the team’s decision. We took a hard look at what Unity could do on consoles, and what we wanted to achieve for both visual quality and performance. “After listening to everyone during the Kickstarter campaign, it became clear that console support was very important to a lot of you.
“I know this seems like a risky move, and in some ways it is, but we’ve mitigated that risk by switching over early,” wrote Fader on the game’s Kickstarter page.
The decision comes as a result of needing better console performance and visual quality, explains game director Jason Fader. System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition is getting a fully playable VR mode. Development of the System Shock remake has been moved from Unity to Unreal Engine 4, Night Dive Studios has announced.
