Night Dive Studios have confirmed they’ll be porting their upcoming System Shock remake to PlayStation 4.
The Kickstarter-funded game will launch for both PC and PlayStation 4 sometime in early 2018. To celebrate the news, Night Dive has shared a new gameplay trailer, showcasing the game’s pre-alpha build.
“When we launched this Kickstarter, supporting PS4 was a possibility, but we hadn’t started talking to Sony just yet about it,” said project director Jason Fader in a Kickstarter blog post. “We were all focused on wrapping the demo up and prepping the Kickstarter.”
Fader explained the crazy demand from the fans wanting a PlayStation 4 version:
“After we saw the overwhelming demand for PS4, we reshuffled our priorities and focused on talking to Sony about making that happen. After a few weeks and lotttts of emails, we are officially on track for bringing System Shock to the PS4! No stretch goal for it. We’re adding it in as a thank you to our backers that put their faith in us.”
As for Xbox One owners, that console was already confirmed as the Fader noted the studio “already had strong contacts at Microsoft from prior projects, so supporting Xbox One was less of an unknown.”
