System Shock for Nintendo Switch

The System Shock remake combines the gameplay of the original title with HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and new sounds and music. A legion of hostile and mutated creatures — created and controlled by the delightfully villainous SHODAN — await players as they make their way through Citadel Station. Players will also encounter traps, puzzles, and secrets as they pursue their escape. A combination of stealth, cunning, and futuristic weaponry will be required to survive. During development, Nightdive Studios worked closely with many of the original System Shock team members, including Terri Brosius, the original voice of one of gaming's most iconic villains: SHODAN.

In the Nintendo Switch ports of System Shock, players can expect a range of features, including Joy-Con 2 mouse support, gyro aiming, various community-requested enhancements, and up to 1440p at 60fps when docked and 1080p at 60fps when handheld on the Switch 2.

  • Unravel the chilling story of SHODAN's rise and explore the mysteries of Citadel Station, piecing together the truth in this atmospheric sci-fi world
  • Face perilous traps, puzzles, and a legion of hostile and mutated creatures — created and controlled by the villainous SHODAN herself
  • Choose between a male or female-presenting Hacker protagonist
  • Improved gyro aiming and Joy-Con 2 mouse support add gameplay versatility for both controller and mouse and keyboard players
