As an alpha demo, it is understandable that the gameplay experience here might be a little rough around the edges, but at least fans now have the opportunity to see Nightdive’s vision for thisadmittedly troubledrelease. In fact, the demo feels more of a certified statement of intent, to allay fears that the project is being ignored. Be sure to move fast, as the demo is only being made available “for a limited time,” and thus could be taken offline at any moment.

System Shock is currently in development for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
