Work started on the remake of Looking Glass’ action adventure game in 2015, funding through a successful crowd funding scheme and originally using Unity. I remember playing it with the lights on so I didn’t get spooked by infected crew members.įast forward to 2023 and we’ve seen the release of a remade System Shock from retro game specialist studio Nightdive Studios (Only available on PC at the moment but is coming to consoles later this year).

Set aboard a space station in 2072, the player assumed the role of a hacker who must thwart the evil plans of Shodan, a genuinely unsettling AI who was quite terrifying. In 1994, Looking Glass Technologies introduced rogue AI Shodan to the world in the original System Shock. ![]()
