Thats awesome. Really enjoyed the System Shock remake.
FINALLY! This was supposed to have been released years ago, lol. Nightdive has really stepped up their games on their remasters.
Great series, enjoyed both games. Hoping they make the 3rd game.
The third game has been in limbo since 2019. Nightdive licensed a sequel in 2015, but they didn't have the manpower, so they gave it to Warren Spector's indie studio. Warren went to Tencent for financing, and last I recall, that's where it ended.
That sucks to hear. This series deserves better.
