Nightdive’s goal with the demo - which will be available on Windows PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GOG - is to offer a playable glimpse at a “feature-complete version of the game,” CEO Stephen Kick said in an interview with PC Gamer. With all that said we are planning on a late Summer 2021 release date.” “The team has evolved and grown considerably and we hope that the end product will meet your expectations. “Our development road was bumpy (to say the least) - but ultimately what you’re playing is the vision and experience we set out to create and the adversity and challenges we’ve faced along the way has only improved the final game,” said Nightdive in a Kickstarter update on Thursday. We see the player shoot, smash, and explode some zombielike enemies that are shambling through the station. And while it starts as an atmospheric jaunt through the space station’s haunted halls - complete with creepy voice-over - it quickly turns into a war against the stranded inhabitants. The teaser trailer takes players to the updated Citadel Station.

The studio published its teaser on Thursday morning, heralding the game’s first demo - which should be available for all players by Thursday afternoon, a few months ahead of the game’s planned release. A new trailer for Nightdive Studios’ System Shock remake gives fans a look at the game’s updated combat.
