![]() ![]() Color me surprised when I discovered that OXENFREE II: Lost Signals is largely a standalone sequel crafting a wholly new story that doesn’t require the original to play. And as studios emphasize building franchises, sequels that are an immediate continuation of what came before it is almost entirely the industry’s standard approach. Sequels that co-exist within an established game world but can be enjoyed on their own. The concept of a standalone sequel feels like a relic of a bygone era. Regardless, System Shock is available to pre-order now for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, and will also be releasing on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, and the Xbox One. And for a game that’s been in the works for since 2015, going up against Capcom’s beloved Resident Evil series is certainly a big risk to be taking. If System Shock does release in March, it’d have some big company in the Resident Evil 4 remake, which is set to arrive March 24 on PC and consoles. The last time 2022 was mentioned was when Nightdive announced that they had teamed with publisher Prime Matter for distribution, but that was back in December. Furthermore, despite Nightdive saying that the game would see a 2022 release, the Gamescom trailer never did mention that date. Obviously, things can and do change, but this is already more specific than a nebulous 2022 release date. Spotted by Wario64, System Shock‘s Steam page now lists the game as releasing in “ March 2023“. Nightdive has said that we’d be able to enter Citadel Station sometime this year, but according to the game’s listing on Steam, that might not be the case. Nightdive’s System Shock remake looks and sounds good, but the question that’s constantly being asked (and hasn’t been answered) is just when it’ll be released.
