One of our favorite titles we worked on

―― Please tell us about the allure of System Shock again.

gatheringThis action is a game in which a hacker is blackmailed into removing the moral restrictions imposed on the artificial intelligence that runs the space station. When he deletes it, something unintended happens. One of the most iconic villains in video game history, AI SHODAN, takes over a space station and turns the crew into all-turn-mutant killing machines of mutants and cyborgs. The unknown hacker must use his wits, tools, and weapons he finds to defeat Shodan, stop the destruction of the world, and the corruption of those left behind. In the end, the point is that technology turns violent and poses a danger to humanity.

―― What kind of person would you like to have fun with?

gatheringFirst, fans of classic games who played the original game. And those who didn’t get the chance to play the classic game because it was very challenging. And I think a whole new demographic of people who don’t know the wonders of classic games will enjoy it.

One of the things that made me happy about gamescom this time is that people watched the game and started playing it without a tutorial, but quickly figured out how to play. They immediately understand the console operation, inventory system, and the purpose of the game.

This game is really sci-fi and if you like sci-fi I think you will enjoy the cyberspace part. In order to finally defeat Shodan, you need to open a partition and go into cyberspace.

Also, I think the players will really enjoy the first medical level. All game elements are presented here and you can get acquainted with the main characters.

―― What is your favorite view of this work?

gatheringI still enjoy the medical level. We spent a lot of time creating this level to get the look and feel we were aiming for. It will be your hub to display all the controls.

―― How do you feel about the new release?

gatheringI was very lucky to get the original source code for this game. One of the levels was in the middle of development and never finished, so we followed in the footsteps of the original developer and were able to include the missing level without incident. I am proud to say that this has become a work of art.

―― It sounds like you’ve worked on a lot of games, but what is the “System Shock” website?

gatheringThis title is one of our favorite titles we’ve worked on. We put a lot of energy and effort into making a title that delivers what fans have come to expect from a perfect rework of a classic game.

―― Finally, please send a message to Japanese fans who are interested in this work.

gatheringSystem Shock will be released when we feel the game has been completely polished. I think it’s a game that all fans around the world can really enjoy. This work is one of the Nightdive Studios titles introduced to Japan, and I would like you to know more about Nightdive Studios.

System Shock is slated to release in 2022 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, and PC.
