Nightdive Studios announced the System Shock remake is coming to Nintendo Switch 1 and 2.
The System Shock remake is coming to Switch 1 and Switch 2 sometime later this year, both digitally and physically.
Fans can expect the full game to ship on its physical cartridge on both platforms, and the Switch 2 version will include Joy-Con 2 mouse support, gyro aiming, and added features inspired by community feedback.
Here’s a rundown on the remake, plus a new trailer:
Nightdive Studios’ stunningly faithful recreation of the 1994 sci-fi action shooter/immersive sim was released to critical acclaim for PC in 2023 and consoles in 2024. Soon, Nintendo gamers will experience this classic for the very first time; the original evil rogue AI, SHODAN, will flaunt her superiority from the palms of their hands as they journey through the dark depths of Citadel Station.
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 in their pursuit of 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 1|2 ports of System Shock, players can expect an array of features such as Joy-Con 2 mouse support for the Switch 2, gyro aiming, various community-request features, and 1080p 60FPS support on Switch 2.
Key Features:
- 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 adds gameplay versatility for both controller and mouse and keyboard players
The System Shock remake has been available for Windows PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5.
