System Shock broke plenty of floor when it got here to online game storytelling, and now we will see if the sport’s universe will enchantment to a wider viewers, because it’s being turned into a live-action streaming TV series.

Kick had the next to say concerning the TV adaptation…
I’ve all the time believed {that a} stay motion adaptation of System Shock could be the proper medium to retell the harrowing story of Citadel station and its rogue AI that topics the crew to unimaginable horror. We’re very excited to see the gifted crew at Binge convey System Shock to life in horrifyingly actual and new methods.
Actually, I agree with Kick – System Shock is a good story that I believe would enchantment to loads of individuals outdoors of the gaming realm. That mentioned, it’s all going to return down the standard of expertise they get to make the sequence, and, sadly, we don’t have any data on that but.
For many who haven’t been protecting tabs on System Shock, Nightdive Studios is presently engaged on a full remake of the unique sport. The remake has been by means of some growth troubles, however some promising footage was launched this yr. Sadly, its promised summer time 2023 launch window has come and gone with no sport. System Shock 3 can be in growth, however its progress has been even murkier. Final we heard, it appeared as if Tencent might have taken over the sport after authentic developer OtherSide Leisure fell on arduous occasions (Nightdive will publish the sport, however they are not creating).
