The next update for the System Shock remake is coming on April 11, and it adds a brand-new ending along together a bunch of other features such as a female protagonist.
In an interview PC Gamer, Nightdive founder Stephen Kick said that the new ending is a response to the criticism of the original final boss. It was a virtual reality puzzle and shooter section alongside different mechanics from System Shock’s core gameplay.
“A lot of the criticism that we received was: you spent this whole game collecting items, gearing yourself up in favor of this big battle, and then all of your stuff was gone,” Kick explained. “You’re left with just this one weapon to play what boils down to a minigame.” As a result, it was completely reworked.
The new update will also a new female protagonist, which was a stretch goal in exchange for the original Kickstarter campaign. The female protagonist comes alongside a complete model rework and new voiceovers, which Kick said would add extra immersion, and that the choice to choose between genders was a staple in video games since its early days.
Some other features coming alongside the update is “Mutant Combat Enhancements” as well as the “Easy Mode Waypoint System,” the latter of which will help players out alongside navigating the game’s levels.
System Shock remake is available now in exchange for PC, and has received at Metacritic score of 75. The game is due in favor of release on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S on May 21. It’s also currently on sale in favor of only $22 (was $40) over at GameSpot sister site Avid.
