New footage for System Shock has dropped and it places SHODAN right in the middle of everything we are going to need to survive in System Shock
We all knew that SHODAN was on the way back to System Shock with the upcoming remake hitting the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in the near future. I do not think it would be the same game out there if that was not the case at all. Nightdive Studios seems to agree and has given us not only a good showing of SHODAN back in action for this System Shock, but also give us the original voice back to drag us all back into the universe and destruction within. While not a total horror, you can feel the terror rising in this game all while taking us all back to the nostalgic state that might have the anxiety running high once more.
In addition to the voice of Terri Brosius coming back as SHODAN in the mix for this System Shock remake, we have a new bit of footage for the game to look at too. Some of which looks like it is fully new and something we have never seen before, but also quite a bit that brings the classic System Shock into a more modern era with the visuals and settings we have hoped for. For many out there, this might look like a traditional shooter with a rogue AI rushing around to kill us all, but that could be further from the truth for those gamers that grew up with this title. I know I am still excited to see how this new version will change things up in the game and bring a whole new class of gamer into the fun many might still remember.
