System Shock

System Shock is the fully-fledged remake of the groundbreaking original from 1994, combining cult gameplay with all-new HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and all-new sounds & music; it even has the original voice actor of SHODAN, one of gaming's most iconic villains. Witness the rebirth of one of the greatest and most influential games ever created. Meet SHODAN. The psychotic AI has taken control of Citadel Station and turned the crew into an army of cyborgs and mutants; She now plans to do the same to Earth. You must explore and battle your way through the depths of a space station gone to hell. Stop SHODAN and avert humanity's destruction. Become fully immersed: shoot, brawl, crawl, climb, leap, and think your way through Citadel Station.

  • 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.

  • Up to 4K 60FPS visuals on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
  • The console release features a newly reworked ending that upgrades the final confrontation with SHODAN!
