The System Shock remake will also be released on PS4, Nightdive Studios has announced. The game had previously been confirmed for Xbox One, PC, OSX and Linux.
“When we launched this Kickstarter, supporting PS4 was a possibility, but we hadn’t started talking to Sony just yet about it,” explained Jason Fader, project director, Nightdive Studios. “We were all focused on wrapping the demo up and prepping the Kickstarter. We already had strong contacts at Microsoft from prior projects, so supporting Xbox One was less of an unknown.
“After we saw the overwhelming demand for PS4, we reshuffled our priorities and focused on talking to Sony about making that happen. After a few weeks and lotttts of emails, we are officially on track for bringing System Shock to the PS4! No stretch goal for it. We’re adding it in as a thank you to our backers that put their faith in us.”
However, raising additional Kickstarter money will help the studio.
“Supporting more platforms will cost us more time/money since ensuring a game functions smoothly and relatively bug-free is different from platform to platform,” added Fader. “The more we’re able to raise, the better the game will be. Please tell your friends about us, share this news about the PS4 support, and help us make the amazing game you all want :-)”
With seven days remaining the Kickstarter has raised $1,088,752, already surpassing its $900,000 goal.
System Shock is planned for release in December 2017 for PC and Xbox One, with PS4 scheduled for around Q1 2018.
