Shodan may be a character you aren’t familiar with the name but you may know the face. They are the main enemy behind the issues you face in System Shock and System Shock 2. Naturally, this means they are present in the upcoming remake. The Steam listing gives a March 2023 release date as well so we shall soon have the remake in our hands. The enemy in this game isn’t a person but a rogue AI. The name of the AI stands for Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network.
There was a recent event on Steam called the Next Fest event. We got a look at several upcoming games. Some of these we covered for you. One of these games was a fresh look at the world we will experience in the System Shock remake. I put this updated demo through its paces to see how the game is holding up and like the previous demo I was left impressed. It’s a series I’m fond of, especially the sequel which in turn led me to check the original title out. If you’re a fan of Bioshock this really should be one you need to look into.
The World OF SHODAN – The Latest On The Upcoming System Shock Remake
For a game coming in March 2023, we are yet to hear a release date. At the time of writing, we are nearly halfway through the month and have no concrete date. The most recent update doesn’t give much away but we did have a post on Twitter regarding this.
So what does this mean in terms of the game’s release? We see that “the System Shock Steam Next Fest demo is once again available”. Then we see the news post end with the following.
