System Shock, the breakthrough FPS/RPG hybrid and one of the most influential video games ever produced is back and enhanced, as Night Dive Studios brings another long-lost piece of gaming history to the Steam gaming audience.
Originally released in 1994, System Shock ushered in a new era of action gaming.
Combining a compelling story line with innovative RPG elements, System Shock was a ground-breaking title that would influence future titles like Deus Ex and Bioshock. Today, the legend returns revamped for contemporary audiences.
“With System Shock: Enhanced Edition, we’ve implemented game-changing improvements, including mouselook, widescreen, and a high resolution display mode.” says Stephen Kick, CEO of Night Dive Studios. “The classic game has never been more accessible.”
The Steam version also features Steam Trading cards, the Steam overlay and (partial) Steam controller support.
For the purists among us, Night Dive Studios has also included the original unaltered game with System Shock: Classic as a free bonus. Both releases are available in a single package, with an introductory discount of 20% for a limited time. Regularly priced at $9.99, the game will be available for $7.99 until November 1st. For gamers who want the complete System Shock experience, a discounted bundle of System Shock: Enhanced and System Shock 2 will also be available for $15.99, a savings of 20% on each game.
