System Shock remastered System Shock 2 remastered

Night Dive is a smaller company than Gearbox, so it would obviously take more work for System Shock 3 to hit the shelves. The revival of System Shock is similar to the comeback of the Homeworld series when that IP was purchased by Gearbox Homeworld Remastered revamped Homeworld and Homeworld 2 for modern audiences, leaving fans hopeful that a Homeworld 3 will eventually be released. If the remake is successful, it will likely light a fire under the fans of the series and get them craving a true sequel game. While the graphics and game engine will obviously be updated, it's encouraging that Night Dive is working with Waters to ensure that the new game will be as faithful to the original as possible.

With both System Shock and System Shock 2 rereleases in the company's catalog, it's seems only right for Night Dive to be the driving force behind a full remake for modern systems. After acquiring the rights to rerelease System Shock 2 for modern computers, the company went on to revive and rerelease a total of 86 games that might otherwise have been inaccessible for modern gamers. Kick even attributes the System Shock series as being a key part of the company's origin, explaining in the interview how System Shock 2 inspired him to found Night Dive in the first place. The System Shock remake isn't Night Dive's first encounter with the IP, either they are the studio behind the System Shock: Enhanced Edition remaster that was released at GOG a few months ago. ' To really do another game in that series is going to take resources and time and commitment that we don't have, and it's really not our core business,' explained Larry Kuperman, Night Dive's head of business development despite this, he says that the company is ' having some conversations' with larger publishers to see if they can find the help they need to get a new sequel made. Speaking with Fast Company, Night Dive CEO Stephen Kick revealed that the studio now had the full rights to System Shock this not only allows the company to work on a PC and console remake of the title, but may eventually lead to the development of a proper System Shock 3 as well.
