It may be a full year late, but it sounds worth the wait. System Shock’s remake was initially releasing on console alongside the PC release in 2023, but unfortunately was delayed. We haven’t heard much about it since, but the PC version launched to much acclaim. Now, console players will finally get their hands on this anticipated remake on May 21st. The news is below.
