System Shock remake announced for Nintendo Switch 2, Switch

Today, it was announced that Nightdive Studios is bringing its System Shock remake to both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch. Look for it later in 2025.

The System Shock remake is a faithful recreation of the 1994 sci-fi action shooter/immersive sim. Nightdive is implementing various features including Joy-Con 2 mouse support, gyro aiming, and various community-request features. 1080p at 60 FPS will be supported on Nintendo Switch 2.

Here’s a further breakdown of details:

The System Shock remake combines the gameplay of the original title with HD visuals, updated controls, an overhauled interface, and new sounds and music. A legion of hostile and mutated creatures — created and controlled by the delightfully villainous SHODAN — await players as they make their way through Citadel Station. Players will also encounter traps, puzzles, and secrets in their pursuit of escape. A combination of stealth, cunning, and futuristic weaponry will be required to survive.

During development, Nightdive Studios worked closely with many of the original System Shock team members, including Terri Brosius, the original voice of one of gaming’s most iconic villains: SHODAN.

In the Nintendo Switch 1|2 ports of System Shock, players can expect an array of features such as Joy-Con 2 mouse support for the Switch 2, gyro aiming, various community-request features, and 1080p 60FPS support on Switch 2.
