The final released game instead focused on being a fairly faithful remake and delivering what the team initially promised in the Kickstarter. After a successful Kickstarter campaign raised more than $1 million in funding, the game underwent a long development cycle of nearly eight years, being delayed several times as a result of changing to Unreal Engine and restarting development on the game from scratch twice after an ambitious attempt at a reboot for the series was scrapped after excessive feature creep.

Assuming the role of a nameless security hacker, the player attempts to hinder the plans of a malevolent artificial intelligence called SHODAN.Ī remake of System Shock began development in 2015, initially developed in the Unity engine.

The game is set aboard a space station in a cyberpunk vision of the year 2072. It is a remake of the 1994 game System Shock developed by Looking Glass Studios. System Shock is an action-adventure game developed by Nightdive Studios and published by Prime Matter.
