‘System Shock’ Remake Now Available on PlayStation, Xbox [Trailer]
The long wait for console owners to play Nightdive’s System Shock remake is finally over. Almost a year to the day the remake of the iconic 1994 FPS was released on PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG, System Shock is now available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series.
“For the first time ever, the incredible world of System Shock is available to console gamers,” said Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios. “We’re so excited to introduce our take on this pioneering piece of gaming history to a whole new audience.”
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of System Shock have a physical and digital release, while the last-gen versions will be digital-only.
System Shock takes place in the year 2072. You are a nameless hacker, and you’ve been caught while attempting to access files concerning Citadel Station, a space station owned by the TriOptimum Corporation. However, in exchange for the dropping of all charges (and a military grade neural implant), you are tasked with hacking SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls the station. After hacking SHODAN, removing the AI’s ethical constraints, you are given the implants and put into a healing coma. You wake up six months later on board Citadel, and all hell has broken loose.
If you’re still on the fence of diving into System Shock, check out Harrison’s review, who stated that Nightdive “have absolutely achieved what they set out to do” in regards to updating and bringing the game to a modern audience.
After making its way out of Early Access on Steam earlier this year, Slipgate Ironworks’ Hexen-inspired GRAVEN will be making the leap to consoles next week. GRAVEN will arrive June 25 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
In GRAVEN, you take on the role of a priest of the Orthogonal order, who has been exiled unto death for a crime in defense of another. Fortunately, you live again in a small boat, adrift in a swamp. A stranger ferries you to solid ground and bestows upon you a cryptic warning, along with a mysterious staff and book. You must now take revenge on the twisted order, and along the way, alleviate suffering, uncover deceptions, and smash the eldritch perversions encroaching upon reality itself.
Featuring character designs by Chuck Jones (Duke Nukem 3D, Half-Life) and the voice talent of Stephan Weyte (Blood, Dusk), GRAVEN has you wielding an array of powers and weapons as you journey across expansive, open-ended regions, and scour the lands to purge evil. You’ll also face the occasional environmental puzzle, and must find hidden gold to upgrade weapons and spells at blacksmiths and alchemists. Go at it alone, with one friend in split-screen co-op, or even band together with up to seven friends on your quest.
