System Shock’s Remake has been delayed for the sixth time, with no news on a console release.
The project was successfully kickstarted back in 2016, with 22k fans raising a massive $1.35million (£1.1million) for the game.

While the Kickstarter is still live and the developer is making updates, the game still hasn’t been released seven years on.
People who donated $30 (£25) were promised a digital copy of the game, while fans had to donate $75 (£62) or above in order to get a physical copy.
The game was originally set to launch late in 2017, before the team decided to change to a new game engine.
This caused significant setbacks in development, and the project was put on hold in 2018.
Once work restarted, a release window of 2020 was given, but this ended up being pushed back year on year.
Eventually, a hard release date of March 31, 2023, was given for all releases on PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
However, the developer has now announced that the PlayStation versions have been delayed indefinitely.
The PC version will also receive another delay, and will now release on May 30, 2023.

As for the console versions, all we know is that more information will be released “in due course”.
Those who backed the project have raised concerns that some, if not all, console versions will be quietly cancelled if the PC release doesn’t perform well.
This has happened in the past with other Kickstarter projects such as Battle Princess Madelyn, and Might No. 9.
