With Nightdive’s long-awaited System Shock remake hitting consoles next month with some new updates, PC players are probably wondering when those same updates are headed their way. Wonder no more, as Nightdive has announced that v1.2 of System Shock will arrive on April 11.
The v1.2 System Shock update will add those same enhancements that consoles players will be enjoying, including the addition of a revised ending that upgrades the final confrontation with SHODAN, the ability to play as a female hacker protagonist, enemy AI improvements, a new waypoint system for the Easy Mode difficulty, and additional fixes.
System Shock takes place in the year 2072. You are a nameless hacker, and you’ve been caught while attempting to access files concerning Citadel Station, a space station owned by the TriOptimum Corporation. However, in exchange for the dropping of all charges (and a military grade neural implant), you are tasked with hacking SHODAN, the artificial intelligence that controls the station. After hacking SHODAN, removing the AI’s ethical constraints, you are given the implants and put into a healing coma. You wake up six months later on board Citadel, and all hell has broken loose.
The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of System Shock will arrive on May 21 with a physical and digital release, while the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions will be getting a digital-only release. System Shock is currently available on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.
