The System Shock remake game gets another release date, pushing it back to May 30th. Publisher Prime Matter notes that "We had hoped to bring the game to market by the end of March, but that turned out to be just beyond our reach; we are after all merely human (unlike Shodan!)," explaining the delays.
The game will be available to shop on the Epics Games Store, GOG, and Steam in a few weeks. Those who purchase the game early will also get a copy of System Shock 2: Enhanced Edition for free when Nightdive Studios' port of that expansion becomes available. Notably, the game remake will also have a PC demo available as well.
