<p>The wait is almost over. Nightdive Studios <a data-i13n="cpos:1;pos:1" href="https://presse.plaion.com/ALL-SYSTEMS-ACTIVE">just announced a May 21 release date[/url] for the console version of its System Shock remake. It’ll be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/system-shock-remake-should-finally-hit-pc-on-may-30th-171056087.html">after arriving for PCs last year[/url].</p>
<p>The developer, alongside publisher Prime Matter, dropped a new trailer for the console release, showing off the stunning graphical update to the 1994 first-person shooter/RPG. Combat has also received a significant upgrade, as the mechanics of the genre weren’t quite refined when the game originally released, gulp, 30 years ago.</p>
<span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The PC version of the remake <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.ign.com/articles/system-shock-remake-review">has been well-received[/url], with a <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.metacritic.com/game/system-shock/">positive review score on Metacritic[/url], but this isn’t a simple re-release. Console players are getting some exclusive features to sweeten the pot. It’ll boast 4K visuals with 60FPS on the PS5 and Xbox Series X. There’s also a new ending that “upgrades the final confrontation” with series antagonist Shodan. The controls have been reworked to better suit console gamepads and there’s a new female hacker protagonist.</p>

<p>There’s also a little bit of something here for collectors. The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions are getting a physical release, though it’s a digital-only affair for PS4 and Xbox One players. There’s no pricing information yet, but the game costs $40 on PC.</p>
<p>This remake of the iconic shooter has been a long time coming. It was first announced <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2016-07-21-system-shock-remake-ps4.html">all the way back in 2016[/url] as part of a successful Kickstarter campaign. Nightdive Studios is <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWNDNZmw7o8">also working on an enhanced port[/url] of System Shock 2.</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/the-system-shock-remake-finally-hits-consoles-on-may-21-190550537.html?src=rss
